Differences in Femoral Bone Microstructure between 2 Month-old Transgenic and Non-transgenic Rabbits
نویسنده
چکیده
Differences in microscopic structure of the femur between 2 month-old transgenic rabbits with hFVIII gene and the non-transgenic ones were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative histological characteristics of compact bone microstructure were evaluated. We observed the presence of fibrolamellar bone tissue only in transgenic rabbits. Measured values for area, perimeter, maximum and minimum diameter of the primary osteon vascular canals, the Haversian canals and the secondary osteons were higher in transgenic individuals. However, no any significant differences were identified between transgenic and non-transgenic rabbits. Anyway, our results confirmed a presence of new bone tissue type (fibrolamellar bone tissue) in 2 month-old transgenic rabbits.

Differences in microscopic structure of the femur between 1-month-old transgenic rabbits carrying the hFVIII gene and non-transgenic rabbits were investigated. Bone microstructure was evaluated from the point of view of qualitative and quantitative histological characteristics. We identified fibrolamellar bone tissue only in the transgenic animals. Measured values for area, perimeter of the Hav...

Background: In consideration for the increasing widespread use of genetically modified (GM) crops, one of the important issues for assessment is the effect of GM crops on soil microbial communities Objectives: In this study, T2 chitinase-transgenic cotton (line #57) and its non-transgenic line were investigated for bacterial and fungal dynamics...
متن کاملEffects of dietary supplementation of nickel and nickel-zinc on femoral bone structure in rabbits
BACKGROUND Nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) are trace elements present at low concentrations in agroecosystems. Nickel, however, may have toxic effects on living organisms and is often considered as a contaminant. This study reports the effect of peroral administrated Ni or a combination of Ni and Zn on femoral bone structure in rabbits. METHODS One month-old female rabbits were divided into three g...
متن کاملSex-related variation in compact bone microstructure of the femoral diaphysis in juvenile rabbits
BACKGROUND While gross morphological changes in the skeleton between males and females are well know, differences between sexes in the histomorphology are less known. It is important to have knowledge on the bone structure of rabbits, as this is a widely used species in biomedical research. A study was performed to evaluate the association between sex and the compact bone morphology of the femo...
