Widespread Striatal Delivery of GDNF from Encapsulated Cells Prevents the Anatomical and Functional Consequences of Excitotoxicity by Dwaine F. Emerich, Jeffrey H. Kordower, Yaping Chu, Chris Thanos, Briannan Bintz, Giovanna Paolone, Lars U. Wahlberg

“…The devices were implanted into the rat striatum 1 week prior to striatal quinolinic acid injections. Animals were evaluated using a battery of validated motor tests, and histology was performed to determine the extent of GDNF diffusion and associated prevention of neuronal cell loss and behavioral deficits. …”

Murine model evaluation of biochemical and tissue-damage induced by Bothrops asper (Nauyaca) snake venom by Dr. Carlos Gallardo-Casas Ángel Gallardo-Casas, María Teresa Valadez-Omaña, Emmanuel Correa Solís, María del Carmen Castillo-Hernández, Rocio Ortiz-Butron

“…Subsequently, the mice were administered the LD25 value of the venom (or saline solution for control), and 24 hours after the injection, LDH, AST, and ALT enzymes were measured in the blood, and the liver and kidneys were collected from each animal. Results: Results: Animals treated with poison (LD25 of 1 mg of protein/kg) had greater activity of AST, ALT and LDH enzymes, structural damage in the cortex and renal medulla, as well as in the liver after 24 hours of administration in the experimental group Conclusion: B. asper venom causes an increase in LDH and transaminase enzymes, as well as renal and hepatic histopathological alterations. …”
