The Impact of Vertical Jump Exercise in the Postsynaptic Cleft in Wistar Rats

By

SUMMARY Background. Skeletal muscle tissue demonstrates remarkable adaptability responding to stimuli at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) during activities like vertical jump­ing, an essential ability in sports. Research about these changes can offer insights into neuromuscular plasticity. Objective. The study aimed to explore the neuroplasticity of the postsynaptic cleft at the NMJ after vertical jump (VJ) … Continued

Peripubertal Exposure to Glyphosate-Based Herbicides Promotes Histopathological Impairment in the Structure of the Diaphragm Muscle of C57BL/6 Mice

By

SUMMARY Introduction. Glyphosate is an organophosphate herbicide most used in Latin America, with multisystemic effects, including the respiratory system. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the muscle fibers and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of the diaphragm muscle of adult mice exposed to the glyphosate-based herbicide in the peripubertal period. Methods. Twelve … Continued
