Observable Protective Activities of Quercetin on Aluminum Chloride-Induced Testicular Toxicity in Adult Male Wistar Rat.

Background: Aluminum chloride (AlCl3 ) present in many manufactured consumable is considered as a toxic element.

Aim: Our study evaluates the toxic effects induced by AlCl3 on the testes as well as the therapeutic tendency of Quercetin (QUE) agent as an antioxidant.

Setting And Design: In the department of Anatomy of Medical School.

Lipofuscin pigment in cerebellar Purkinje neurones and choroid plexus epithelial cells of macaque monkeys with Plasmodium knowlesi cerebral malaria: an electron microscopical observation.

Experimental infection of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with a virulent (W1) strain of Plasmodium knowlesi resulted in cerebral malaria. Electron microscopical examination of the brain revealed large numbers of intracytoplasmic lipofuscin pigment deposits in cerebellar Purkinje neurones and choroid plexus epithelium of the lateral ventricle. This lesion may be part of the nervous system response to ischaemic hypoxia.

The development of the cerebral mantle in the mouse embryo after brief in utero hyperthermic stress.

The width of the different layers of the cerebral mantle of 16-day mouse embryos was measured after exposure of pregnant dams to a hyperthermic stress of 43 degrees C for 10 minutes in a laboratory oven, during the period of neural tube closure. The dams were exposed on day 7 1/2 or 8 1/2 post coitum. A control group of mice was placed in the oven at ambient temperature (28 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
