This paper critically overviews the main procedures used for carrying out morphological
analysis of peripheral nerve fibers in light, confocal, and electron microscopy. In particular …

Dexamethasone is currently used for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury, but its
mechanisms of action are not completely understood. Inflammation/immune response at the …

Stereology (from the Greek stereos= solid) is considered as the spatial interpretation of
profiles seen in sections. It is a multidisciplinary science field dealing with the three …

The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft.
Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture …

Several sources of variability can affect stereological estimates. Here we measured the
impact of potential sources of variability on numerical stereological estimates of myelinated …

The transmission of signals to the cell body from injured axons induces significant
alterations in primary sensory neurons located in the ganglion tissue, the site of the …

The toxic effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during development has
been widely investigated. While it has been shown that these drugs impair central nervous …

OBJECTIVE This study examined the capacity of the major polyphenolic green tea extract
(−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to suppress oxidative stress and stimulate the …

Nerve regeneration after surgical reconstruction is far from optimal, and thus effective
strategies for improving the outcome of nerve repair are being sought. In this experiment, we …

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) is glucose‐dependent insulinotropic hormone secreted
from enteroendocrine L cells. Its long‐acting analogue, exendin‐4, is equipotent to GLP‐1 …
