(Environmental Pollution, 2022) [Artigo]Morphological tools can assist in the evaluation of effects of insecticides on non-target insects. Pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone analog, is known to interfere with growth and metamorphosis of insects. However, there are ... -
Subacute exposure to aluminum chloride causes prolonged morphological insults in the ventral male prostate and in the female prostate of adult gerbils
(Environmental Toxicology, 2022) [Artigo]Aluminum (Al) is a widespread metal in the environment, and is found in fresh or processed foods, household utensils, packaging, and medicines. In addition to its high toxicity, Al can also have estrogenic agonistic effects ... -
TEMPO-oxidized cellulose poly-ionic drawn fiber, a cell support system proof of concept
(Journal of Materials Science, 2021) [Artigo]The development of new cell carrier systems is crucial for application in regenerative medicine, once they deliver the cells to the injured tissue to trigger the repair and stimulate the regeneration. Here we report the ... -
Prenatal and pubertal exposure to 17α-ethinylestradiol cause morphological changes in the prostate of old gerbils
(Cell Biology International, 2021) [Artigo]This study evaluated such as exposure to ethinylestradiol during the prenatal (18th–22nd day) and pubertal (42nd–49th day) periods acts on the male ventral prostate and female prostate of 12-month old gerbils. We performed ... -
Stromal cell interplay in prostate development, physiology, and pathological conditions
(Prostate, 2021) [Resenha]Advances in prostatic stroma studies over the past few decades have demonstrated that the stroma not only supports and nourishes the gland's secretory epithelium but also participates in key aspects of morphogenesis, in ... -
Apoplasmic barrier in the extrafloral nectary of Citharexylum myrianthum (Verbenaceae)
(Planta, 2021) [Artigo]Main conclusion: The cytological changes underlying the formation of an apoplasmic barrier in the multi-layered extrafloral nectaries of Citharexylum myrianthum are compatible with the synthesis, transport and deposition ... -
Prolactin promotes a partial recovery from the atrophy of both male and female gerbil prostates caused by castration
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021) [Artigo]Background: The male and female prostates are controlled by steroid hormones, suffering important morphological and physiological changes after castration. Prolactin is involved in the regulation of the male prostate, ... -
Effects of exercise on neuromuscular junction components across age: Systematic review of animal experimental studies Neuroscience
(BMC Research Notes, 2015) [Artigo]Background: During almost one-third of our life, maturation of the nervous system promotes strength and muscle mass increase. However, as age advances, the nervous system begins to suffer a slow and continue reduction of ... -
Ultrastructure of the Lyonet's glands in larvae of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
(Biocell, 2004) [Artigo]The Lyonet's gland is found in Lepidoptera larvae, close to the excretory duct of the silk gland. The role played by this gland is still uncertain. This work aims to describe the ultrastructure of the Lyonet's gland in ... -
Spherites in the midgut epithelial cells of the sugarcane borer parasitized by Cotesia flavipes
(Biocell, 2008) [Artigo]Diatraea saccharalis, the main pest of sugarcane, has been controlled by Cotesia flavipes. Very little is known about the effect of parasitism on the host organs, including the midgut. The Lepidoptera midgut epithelium is ... -
Tissue alterations in the Guinea pig lateral prostate following antiandrogen flutamide therapy
