Exposure to Chronic Noise Reduces the Volume of Hippocampal Subregions in Rats
Objective The hippocampal circuit integrity is crucial for learning and memory. Despite the existing reports on hippocampal–dependent memory impairment due to noise stress, there are only a few studies on the effect of noise stress on anatomical structure of hippocampus. The present study is aimed to investigate the likely effects of chronic noise exposure on the volume of rat hippocampus. Mate...
متن کاملExperimental hyperhomocysteinemia reduces bone quality in rats.
BACKGROUND Recently, hyperhomocysteinemia (HHCY) has been suggested as a new risk factor for osteoporosis. This study investigated if HHCY is a causal osteoporotic factor in vivo. METHODS We used 3 groups of rats: a control group (n = 20), a moderate HHCY group (induced by a 2.4% methionine-enriched diet, n = 10), and an intermediate HHCY group (induced by a 2% homocystine-enriched diet, n = ...
متن کاملReduction in dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio reduces bone mass and strength in ovariectomized rats enhancing bone turnover.
To clarify the effects of the dietary calcium (Ca)/phosphorus (P) ratio on bone mineralization under the condition of estrogen deficiency, Wistar strain female rats were ovariectomized (OVX) at 12 weeks old. At 16 weeks old, the rats were divided into three dietary groups fed varying levels of P containing 0.5% Ca: 0.25% P, Ca/P = 2; 0.5% P, Ca/P = 1; and 1.0% P, Ca/P = 0.5 respectively. This s...
متن کاملHistological Evaluation of Pancreas Following Early Life Stress in Exposure to Pubertal Stress in Male Rats
Background and purpose: Stressful events in early-life induce metabolic disorders in adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early-life stress on number or area of Langerhans islets in exposure to foot-shock and psychological stress in male rats. Materials and methods: The rats were divided into six groups: control (without stress), early-stress (stress at 2 weeks o...
متن کاملGrowth hormone mitigates loss of periosteal bone formation and muscle mass in disuse osteopenic rats.
Growth hormone (GH) is a potent anabolic agent capable of increasing both bone and muscle mass. The aim was to investigate whether GH could counteract disuse-induced loss of bone and muscle mass in a rat model. Paralysis was induced by injecting 4 IU Botox (BTX) into the muscles of the right hind limb. Sixty female Wistar rats, 14 weeks old, were divided into the following groups: baseline, con...
