Farias, V. X.; Uchoa, P.N.; Aquino, Camila P.; Britto, L.R.G.; Fonteles, Manasses Claudino; Leal-Cardoso, José Henrique; Silva-Alves, Kerly Shamyra daThe transport of myo-inositol is the main mechanism for the maintenance of its high intracellular levels. We aimed to measure the mRNA and protein levels of myo-inositol cotransporters in the sciatic nerve (SN) and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) during experimental diabetes. Streptozotocin-induced (STZ; 4, 8, and 12 weeks; 65 mg/kg; ip) diabetic rats (DB) and age-matched euglycemic (E) rats were used for the analysi...
Impact of acute undernutrition on growth, ileal morphology and nutrient transpo...
Sampaio, I.C.; Medeiros, P.H.Q.S.; Rodrigues, F.A.P.; Cavalcante, P.A.; Ribeiro, S.A.; Oliveira, J.S.; Prata, M.M.G.; Costa, D.V.S.; Fonseca, S.G.C.Undernutrition represents a major public health challenge for middle- and low-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate whether a multideficient Northeast Brazil regional basic diet (RBD) induces acute morphological and functional changes in the ileum of mice. Swiss mice (∼25 g) were allocated into two groups: i) control mice were fed a standard diet and II) undernourished mice were fed the RBD. After 7 da...
