Consumption of alcoholic beverages can increase ROS and inflammation. In the duodenal, consumption alcohol result in erosions, bleeding, mucosal injury. Arabica coffee fruit skin contains antioxidant substances, which are expected to have a good role as an effect. Currently, unknown effects extract administration on damage small intestine mice (Mus musculus L.). This study used experimental des...

Fishmeal (FM) is still the most important protein source in aquafeeds. However, due to reduction of wild fish stocks used for FM production, its manufacturing it now unsustainable. Insect meal represents a valid alternative FM, low carbon footprint production and high nutritional value. The aim this study was investigate potentials replacing with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (HIM) aqua...

We evaluated the effects of the supplementation with L-glutamine and glutamine dipeptide (GDP) on biochemical and morphophysiological parameters in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. For this purpose, thirty animals were distributed into six groups treated orally (gavage) during thirty days: non diabetic rats (Control) + saline, diabetic + saline; Control + L-glutamine (248 mg/kg), Diabetic + L-glut...

Purpose: To evaluate the biodistribution of sodium pertecnetate (NaTcO4) in organs and tissues, the morphometry of remnant intestinal mucosa and ponderal evolution in rats subjected to massive resection of the small intestine. Methods: Twenty-one Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups of 7 animals each. The short bowel (SB) group was subjected to massive resection of the small inte...

Female Wistar rats were weaned onto a diet deficient in riboflavin and compared with weight-matched and ad lib.-fed controls. The effects of riboflavin deficiency on villus morphometry and enterocyte number on the villi in the upper small intestine were studied. Riboflavin depletion was associated with increased villus length and a proportional increase in the number of cell positions along the...

Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) has been widely used to treat patients with morbid obesity for the past 20 years. In rats JIB causes adaptive colonic hyperplasia and enhances colorectal neoplasia. In this study crypt cell production rate (CCPR) was measured stathmokinetically in cultured rectal biopsies from nine patients with JIB and seven controls without intestinal operations or disease. Crypt cell...

In 2 studies, a method of linear morphometry was applied to regulatory developmental neurotoxicity studies in the rat. The first study involved the development of the brain during postnatal days (PNDs) 7-63, and the second involved the effects of 8 mg/kg i.p. trimethyltin chloride (TMT) to rats at PND 8, with morphometry performed at PNDs 12 and 24. The results of the TMT linear morphometry wer...
