A stereological study on calculation of volume values regarding lumbosacral segments of quails.

In the study, total segment, grey matter and white matter volume values of lumbosacral segment of spinal cord in quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were stereologically examined. Regardless of sex, six adult quails were used as material. After the materials were perfused, they were dissected and their spinal cords were uncovered.

A stereological analysis on the calculation of the volume values of thoracic segments in ducks.

Stereology is a method for examining two-dimensional objects as three-dimensional objects. The aim of this study was to offer volume values for thoracic segments in ducks by means of stereological methods. This study examined the data obtained from stereological analysis of the total volume and grey and white matter volume values of the thoracic segment, a part of the adult duck spinal cord with a weight of 3-4 kg.

A morphometric and stereological study on cervical spinal cord segment of goose.

In this study, volume density of white matter and grey matter areas of cervical segment of spinal cord in adult geese weighing 3-4 kg was examined using stereological methods. 10 geese were used as material without sex discrimination. All animals underwent perfusion with 10% buffered formaldehyde.

Prenatal exposure to low-dose diclofenac sodium does not affect total neuron numbers in spinal segment T13 in rats.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of diclofenac sodium (DS) on the total number of neurons in segment T13 of the spinal cord of offspring of pregnant rats using stereological methods. Eighteen adult female Wistar albino rats weighing 150-200g were used. Pregnant female rats were divided into three groups; a control group, a sham group and a DS (1mg/kg, intramuscular) exposed group.
