Article Synopsis
- The study examined how chronic prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) affects pain responses to mechanical and thermal stimuli in rats, comparing a control group and an experimental group exposed to ethanol during gestation.
- Results showed that while control rats exhibited decreased pain sensitivity over time, those with PAE had higher pain thresholds, especially for mechanical stimuli shortly after birth.
- The study suggests that differences in pain pathways and disruptions in the nervous system balance may explain these altered responses, highlighting the need for more research on the mechanisms behind pain perception in individuals exposed to alcohol before birth.
The objective of our study was to identify new markers related to excessive body adiposity and its early consequences. For this purpose we determined serum FGF-19 and FGF-21 concentrations in obese rats, whose role in the pathogenesis of obesity is not yet established. In addition, a total reflection X-ray fluorescence technique was applied to determine the elemental chemistry of certain tissues affected by obesity.
