Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how different fat diets and exercise impact biological aging markers, focusing on telomere length, inflammation, and oxidative stress in rats.
- - Researchers divided 48 rats into six groups to test the effects of unsaturated vs. saturated fat diets and aerobic exercise over 50 days, measuring various biological markers and telomere lengths.
- - Results showed that unsaturated fat diets and physical activity were linked to longer telomeres and better inflammatory status, while saturated fat diets correlated with higher body weight gain and unfavorable biological markers.
Alcohol consumption during adolescence causes negative structural changes in the cerebellum and can lead to cognitive and motor skill disorders. Unfortunately, the age at which individuals begin drinking alcohol has decreased in recent years, which has drawn attention to the effects of alcohol on neurological changes during preadolescence. In this study, we investigated the effects of adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure on the cellular composition of the cerebellum in male rats, particularly when alcohol consumption begins early.

The nucleus rotundus (ROT) is a major relay station in the tectofugal pathway of the avian visual system. In this study, some quantitative features of ROT in developing chicks were analysed using new stereological methods. Total neuron number (N) and mean volume (V) of ROT were estimated by the optical fractionator method and by the Cavalieri principle, respectively.
