Probiotics prevent growth deficit of colon wall strata of malnourished rats pos...
Lima,Dirlene P.; Azevedo,Jorge F. de; Hermes-Uliana,Catchia; Alves,Gilberto; Sant'ana,Débora M.G.; Araújo,Eduardo J.A.The objective of this study was to analyze morphometrically the colon wall strata of malnourished rats supplemented with probiotics. Sixteen recently weaned Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were distributed into four groups: animals that received commercial chow (G1, n = 4); animals that received the same feed as G1 and were supplemented with probiotics (G2, n = 4); animals that received chow with 4% of proteins...
Characterization of the myenteric neuronal population and subpopulation of the ...
Sant'Ana,Débora M.G.; Araújo,Eduardo J.A.; Ramos,Diego H.; Hermes-Uliana,Catchia; Natali,Maria Raquel M.The effects of severe protein malnutrition (4%) on myenteric neurons of Wistar rat duodenum, in relation to a standard 22%-protein diet for rodents, were assessed in this study. Segments of the duodenum from 10 rats from each nutritional group were submitted to the elaboration of whole mounts - 5 stained with Giemsa to determine the total population of myenteric neurons and the others stained by a histochemical...
Myenteric neuronal plasticity induced by Toxoplasma gondii (genotype III) on th...
Papazian-Cabanas,Rodrigo M.; Araújo,Eduardo J.A.; Silva,Aristeu V. da; Sant'Ana,Débora M.G.The effects of acute and chronic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii on duodenal myenteric neurons were analyzed. Eighteen rats were assigned into four groups: Acute Control Group (ACG, n=4); Acute Experimental Group (AEG, n=4); Chronic Control Group (CCG, n=5); and Chronic Experimental Group (CEG, n=5). Rats from the AEG and CEG were inoculated orally with 105 genotype III (BTU-II strain) tachyzoites of T. g...
