Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of acute heat stress on rat adrenal glands: a morphological and stereological study
TL;DR: A significant increase in plasma corticotrophin (ACTH) and serum corticosterone (CORT) concentrations was observed, confirming that acute heat exposure has a strong stressful effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histopathological indicators: a useful fish health monitoring tool in common carp ( Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) culture
Božidar Rašković,Ivan Jarić,Vesna Koko,Milan Spasic,Zorka Dulic,Zoran Marković,Vesna Poleksić +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the relationship between water quality in ponds and indices of histopathological changes occurring in the vital organs of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758), two six-month field experiments were carried out using two different water supplies: from the nearby stream and a tube well.
Journal Article
Colonic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in ulcerative colitis-A radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemical study
Vera Todorović,B Janic,Vesna Koko,Marjan Micev,J A Nikolic,M Ratkovic,G Leposavic,T Jankovic,Slavica Knezevic-Usaj,Z Milicevic +9 more
TL;DR: The study shows clearly the heterogeneity in the response of VIP plasma level as well as rectum concentration and distribution in UC patients at different stages of the active disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute ethanol treatment increases level of progesterone in ovariectomized rats.
TL;DR: Results showed that acute ethanol treatment significantly increased absolute volume of the zona fasciculata and length of its capillaries but did not alter other stereological parameters, consistent with the previous hypothesis that an ethanol-induced increase of the progesterone level in adult female rats originates from the adrenal cortex.
Journal Article
Rat pancreatic B-cells after chronic alcohol feeding. A morphometric and fine structural study.
Vesna Koko,Vera Todorović,J A Nikolic,Radmila Glišić,M Cakić,V Lacković,L Petronijević,M Stojković,J Varagić,B Janic +9 more
TL;DR: The present results indicate some optical and structural abnormalities of B-cells in chronic alcoholism that may be related to cell dysfunction and may contribute, at least in part, to the endocrine pancreas functional disturbance.
