Fruit Juice Modulates ACE2 Immunoexpression and Diminishes Age-Related Remodeling of Coronary Arteries in Rats.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of fruit juice (AMJ) supplementation on age-related coronary arteries remodeled in aged rat hearts. Male Wistar rats (n = 24) were divided into three groups: (1) young controls (CY), aged 2 months, without AMJ supplementation; (2) old controls (CO), aged 27 months, without AMJ supplementation; and (3) the AMJ group (A), which used 27-month old animals, supplemented orally with AMJ for 105 days. AMJ supplementation did not influence the wall-to-diameter parameter (Kernohan index) of the coronary arteries of test animals.

Effect of Tyr-MIF-1 peptides on blood ACTH and corticosterone concentration induced by three experimental models of stress.

1. Studies, using a wide variety of stressors, have clearly indicated that the pattern of neuroendocrine response is dependent upon the stress stimulus applied. 2.
