NADH-DIAPHORASE POSITIVE MYENTERIC NEURONS OF THE AGLANDULAR REGION OF THE STOMACH OF RATS (Rattus norvegicus) SUBJECTED TO DESNUTRITION

The stomach carried out movements characterized by potent peristaltic slow waves which serve mixture, mechanical digestion and slow emptying through the pylorus. The control of this movement is made by hormone action and neural activity, especially the intrinsic innervation by the neurons of the mye...

NADH-DIAPHORASE POSITIVE MYENTERIC NEURONS OF THE AGLANDULAR REGION OF THE STOMACH OF RATS (Rattus norvegicus) SUBJECTED TO DESNUTRITION
description The stomach carried out movements characterized by potent peristaltic slow waves which serve mixture, mechanical digestion and slow emptying through the pylorus. The control of this movement is made by hormone action and neural activity, especially the intrinsic innervation by the neurons of the myenteric plexus. Once the condition of desnutrition can cause morphological alterations even upon the neurons this work was proposed with the purpose of verifying the effects of protein desnutrition lasting 120 days on the quantitative aspects of the NADH-diaphorase positive neurons. It was used 10 adult rats aging 90 days, which were divided in two groups, control and disnurtured. The rats of the disnurtured group (n=5) were subjected to a diet of 8% protein level, and those of the control group (n=5) received chow with normal protein level (22%). After 120 days, the aglandular stomach was subjetec to the histoenzymologic technique of the NADH-diaphorase for neuronal evidenciation.
