| This study evaluated whether a high fat diet (HFC group) induces overweight, hepatic steatosis and plasma lipoproteins level alteration compared to standard chow diet (SC group). Female mice were submitted to each diet over 6 months. Body mass and food intake were evaluated weekly throughout the experiment. Total cholesterol, TG, LDL-c, HDL-c and VLDL-c were analyzed. Mice were sacrificed to remove liver, spleen, heart and intestine. The volume of the organs was determined according to the submersion method. Fixed livers were embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome. The analysis used a video microscope system and a test-system with 42 test-points. The volume density was estimated for hepatocytes, steatosis and... |

| We studied with morphological tools the effects of different doses of Losartan upon the cardiovascular remodeling in nitric oxide deficient rats. At 15 weeks of age, thirty Wistar rats were separated in six groups: control (C), L-NAME (LN), and four groups were LN was given plus Losartan at different doses (1, 5, 20 and 40 mg/kg/day). The L-NAME was given for 9 weeks, the Losartan administration starting on the 2nd week of experiment. We studied the heart, thoracic aorta and superior mesenteric artery with light microscopy and stereology. The blood pressure (BP) increased since the first week of L-NAME administration, the Losartan treatment at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg/day was efficient to reduce BP after the 7th week of treatment. The cardiac adverse... |

| Quantitative morphology is a reliable tool in developmental, clinical and aging biology. Quantitative data of histological improvement and/or impairment due to dietary manipulations or pharmacological interventions draws the attention of countless researchers worldwide. Morphometry allows a wide range of two-dimension analysis to be performed, whereas image segmentation allows the measurement of a single structure or the determination of the intensity of its color after adequate immunostaining or even the area occupied by a specific sort of cell. When it comes to unbiased analysis, consideration should be given to suitable tissue perfusion, fixation and embedding, avoiding artifacts. Furthermore, tissue shrinkage should be taken into account. In order to... |

| Obese mice (C57BL/6J-ob/ob) do not express leptin and develops hyperphagia, decreased energy expenditure, obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypothermia, and infertility. Obesity causes reproductive dysfunction with negative impacts on prostatic structure and fertility. We aimed to compare the structure and molecular aspects of the ventral prostate between of lean and obese (ob/ob) mice. Three months old male lean and obese mice had their prostates dissected and prepared for light microscopy and immunofluorescence. In comparison to the lean mouse, the obese mouse showed a substantial structural modification in the ventral prostate starting with an atrophy of the prostate ventral lobe. Histologically, the acini showed a reduction in size, and in the... |

| Forty mature male rats (Wistar strain) were maintained alive for 40 days, separated in four groups of five rats each (Control, L-NAME, L-NAME + Enalapril, L-NAME + Verapamil). Three aortic wall parameters were analyzed, as follows: the Q A(SMN) (the number of the tunica media smooth muscle nuclear profiles per area), the S V(lamellae) (surface density of the aortic lamellae), and the aortic wall thickness (AWT). Rats of the L-NAME group showed high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy. The AWT, the Q A(SMN) and the S V(lamellae) showed the same tendency among the groups. The increased AWT, or the reduced Q A(SMN) and the S V(lamellae) in l-NAME rats were not completely prevented by the administration of enalapril or verapamil. Hypertension causes the AWT... |
