AbstractIntroduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) promotes gut dysbiosis, and enteric glial reactivity, a feature of intestinal inflammation. Brazil nut modulated profile in healthy animals could modulate these cells 5/6 nephrectomized rats.Methods: A nephrectomy-induced CKD Sham-operated rats were divided as follows: Sham received standard diet CKD-BN Sham-BN 5% enriched-diet. The protein content fibrillary acid (GFAP), marker, GPx activity assessed the colon. major phyla microbiota...
The retinotectal projection of rodents presents a precise retinotopic organization that develops, from diffuse connections, the day birth to post-natal 10. Previous data had demonstrated these projections undergo reorganization after retinal lesions, nerve crush and monocular enucleation. axonal growth seems be directly related growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) expression, protein predominantly located in cones, which is regulated throughout development. GAP-43 presented both under...
Background The role of food and nutrients in the regulation enteric glial cell functions is unclear. Some foods influence neurophysiology can affect that include intestinal barrier, gastric emptying, colonic transit. Brazil nuts are most abundant natural source selenium, unsaturated fatty acids, fibers, polyphenols.Objective study investigated effects a nut-enriched diet on cells gastrointestinal transit.Methods Two-month-old male Wistar rats were randomized to standard (control group, CG),...
Abstract Monocular eye enucleation (ME) is a classical paradigm to induce neural plasticity in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) axons from the intact eye, especially when performed within critical period of visual system development. However, precise mechanisms underlying axonal sprouting and synaptogenesis seen this model remain poorly understood. In present work, we investigated temporal alterations phosphorylation three kinases related growth synaptogenesis—GSK3β (an important repressor...
