Journal ArticleDOI
The substantia gelatinosa Rolandi of the rat. Fine structure, cytochemistry (acid phosphatase) and changes after dorsal root section.
TL;DR: The synaptic glomeruli of the rat gelatinosa are thus a synaptic relay station for primary afferents, whose terminals possess an extralysosomal acid phosphatase possibly concerned with the metabolism of a local synaptic transmitter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct effects of stress on adrenocortical function.
TL;DR: In conditions of chronic stress the adrenal cortex undergoes an adaptation that allows the hypersecretion of glucocorticoids to occur even without the increment of ACTH, and hence in the tuning of the stress response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary function electronic monitoring devices: a randomized agreement study.
João Fonseca,Altamiro Costa-Pereira,Luís Delgado,Luis Silva,M. M. Magalhães,M. Graça Castel-Branco,Marianela Vaz +6 more
TL;DR: These low-cost and easy-to-use electronic monitoring devices showed a very good reproducibility and were in agreement with the pneumotachograph, and seem adequate for both screening and monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rabbit retina Müller cell. A fine structural and cytochemical study
M. M. Magalhães,Antonio Coimbra +1 more
TL;DR: The rabbit retina Muller cell cytoplasm is pyroantimonate-reactive and rich in digitonin—cholesterol complexes, which suggest a basic astrocyte type of cell modified in the outer portion for absorption and transport of nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbodies (Peroxisomes) in rat adrenal cortex
TL;DR: Electron microscope examination of the rat adrenal cortex revealed the presence of round or ovoid small bodies that contained catalase and may therefore be considered as true peroxisomes.
