Immobilization and experimental periodontitis in tibial anterior muscle of wistar rats

Effects of Tenotomy on Regenerating Anterior Tibial Muscle in Rats

The effect of tenotomy on the regeneration of anterior tibial muscle was studied in Wistar rats. Regeneration was induced by intramuscular injection of a local anesthetic, and tenotomy was performed at varying intervals post-injection. Muscles were examined using light and electron microscopy 30 days after sectioning the tendon. Results showed that tenotomy failed to prevent new muscle fibers f...

Effect of obesity on alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in Wistar rats

UNLABELLED Obesity has been linked to higher inflammatory status and periodontal breakdown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: obese (n=13), which were fed with "cafeteria diet" (CAF diet--high amoun...

Effect of andiroba oil on periodontitis in Wistar rats.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of andiroba oil on the periodontitis in rats. METHODS The periodontitis was induced by the placement of cotton ligatures around the cervix of the second upper molars on fifteen rats, and waiting fifty days. The animals were randomly distributed into three groups: saline group, andiroba oil group and meloxican group, differentiated by substance used in the treat...

Effect of Obesity on Skeletal Muscle Semaphorin 3C Levels in Male and Female Wistar Rats

Effect of prenatal immobilization stress on sexual activity in male Wistar rats

  Since the stress influences the biological processes, in the present study the effect of prenatal immobilization stress on the sexual activity of male rats was studied. Adult male and female Wistar rats (Pasteur Institute, Tehran) were copulated. After observing the vaginal plugs, pregnant rats were divided into control and two experimental groups. All groups were kept under the laboratory co...
