Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoproteins (HDL) levels in rabbit during the course of experimental diabetes.

The study was conducted on 56 rabbits, of White New Zealand breed, male gender. The average weight of the rabbits was 3 kg. The diabetes was evoked by intravenous injection of 10% alloxan, using the single dose of 100 mg/kg.

Histological examination of the kidney after experimental administration of MK-801 and dexamethasone.

The aim of the research was histological assessment of the influence of MK-801 (NMDA receptor antagonist) and dexamethasone on the kidney. The experiment was carried out on adult Albino-Swiss mouse males. MK-801 was administered in the dose of 0.

Histomorphology of renal proximal convoluted tubules of kidney of experimental animals after Cladribine (2-CdA) administration.

The proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney of the white Wistar rats were examined. The animals were given Cladribine (2-CdA) sub-cutaneously at the dose: 0.07 mg/kg b.

Morphological studies in modern teratological investigations.

Despite the variety of modern molecular techniques available, examination of foetal anatomy is still a fundamental part of teratological studies in evaluating the developmental toxicity of xenobiotics or other non-chemical factors. The article presents contemporary methods of embryotoxicity and foetotoxicity assessment. A single alizarin red S and double alcian blue followed by alizarin red S staining, as well as various methods of soft tissue examination are discussed.

Axillary lymph node and early breast cancer diagnostics. A case report.

Understanding of the anatomy of the axillary lymph nodes is important in diagnostic and treatment procedures for breast cancer. An interesting case is presented here of breast cancer without a breast tumour. The first symptom of the disease was lymphadenopathy of the axillary region.

Changes in antioxidant status of heart muscle tissue in experimental diabetes in rabbits.

The present study was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress-related parameters in alloxan-induced diabetes in rabbits. After 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks of hyperglycaemia the enzymatic and non-enzymatic factors were measured in heart tissue of diabetic and control groups. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities and the contents of total sulfhydryl compounds significantly increased at all time intervals.

Changes in antioxidant status of lung tissue in experimental diabetes in rabbits.

Objectives: Hyperglycaemia can result in oxidative stress which may affected as cellular tissue damage.

Design And Methods: After 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks of hyperglycaemia oxidative stress related parameters were measured in lung tissue of diabetic and control rabbits.

Results: Decreased activities of antioxidative compounds and intensification of lipid peroxidation process were found in diabetic lung.

Hepatic lysosomal enzymes activity and liver morphology after short-time omeprazole administration.

The aim of the study was to establish the influence of short-time omeprazole administration on liver function and morphology. Omeprazole was administered intraperitoneally, twice daily, for 3 days to male Wistar rats in two doses: 0.571 mg/kg and 5.
