Injection of kainic acid into the cerebellum leads to a neuroexcitatory and neurotoxic effect on neurons connected with cerebellar granule cells. Observation of the activities of dehydrogenases taking part in glucose metabolism and glutamate dehydrogenase shows that Purkinje cells undergo a rapid destruction. Lesions of small stellate cells come later. But the basket cells present a long period of hyperactivity revealed by an increase of dehydrogenase activity.

Objective - to identify the morphological equivalents of the cardiotoxic action of organophosphate poisoning. It was studied 110 fatal organophosphate poisonings in toxicogenic and somatogenic stages. The study of the heart was a comprehensive in term of clinical, biochemical, histological, micromorphometric, histochemical and histoenzymological approaches.

Article Synopsis
- MAOIs, like tranylcypromine (TCP), work by increasing monoamines in the brain, but can cause dangerous hypertensive crises due to tyramine buildup.
- Research showed enhanced responses to TCP in TAAR1-knockout mice, indicating that TAAR1 may help regulate tyramine levels in the brain.
- The study found that tyramine interacts with glutamate to influence the effects of MAOIs, revealing new insights into the neurochemical mechanisms behind their therapeutic actions.

Background: This study aimed to describe the clinical, radiological, biomechanical, electromyographic, and histoenzymologic modifications in the "Gastrocnemius-Achilles Tendon-Calcaneus complex" caused by percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening (PATL) versus Vulpius Achilles tendon lengthening (VATL) in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits.
Materials And Methods: Eight female NZW rabbits were used at 7 months of age. Two rabbits were euthanized before surgery for anatomical dissection, three underwent PATL (two bilateral and one unilateral), and the three others underwent VATL (two bilateral and one unilateral).
Association of sericin and swimming on the phenotype, motor plate, and functionality of the denervated plantar muscle of Wistar rats.

Physical exercise may help maintain muscle properties and functional improvement after peripheral nerve lesion, which may be enhanced by using biocompatible substances, such as sericin. The aim of this study was analyse the effect of sericin associated with swimming exercise on the phenotype, innervation, and functionality of the plantar muscle of Wistar rats. Forty randomly divided adult rats were used in five groups of eight animals: control, injury, sericin, exercise, exercise and sericin.

Aortic stenosis was accompanied by changes in smooth muscles of the left ventricle manifested by deceleration of tricarboxylic acid cycle, inhibition of oxidation of free fatty acids and their metabolites, flux redistribution in the glycolytic cascade, and inhibition of shuttle systems and biosynthetic processes. Similar metabolic alterations were observed in vessels of the ventricular septum, but they were not revealed in vessels of the right ventricle (except glycolysis stimulation).
