Acute Toxicity and Genotoxic Activity of Avocado Seed Extract (Persea americana Mill., c.v. Hass) by Eduardo Padilla-Camberos, Moisés Martínez-Velázquez, José Miguel Flores-Fernández, Socorro Villanueva-Rodríguez

“…In this work, the ethanolic seed extract of Persea americana was evaluated with respect to its genotoxic potential through micronucleus assay in rodents. The frequency of micronuclei in groups of animals treated with avocado seed extract showed no differences compared to the negative control (vehicle); therefore, it is considered that the avocado seed extract showed no genotoxic activity in the micronucleus test.…”

Trend in Ambient Ozone and an Attempt to Detect Its Effect on Biota in Forest Ecosystem. Step I of Lithuanian Studies by Algirdas Augustaitis, Ingrida Augustaitiene, Almantas Kliucius, Gintautas Mozgeris, Gintaras Pivoras, Rasele Girgzdiene, Kestutis Arbaciauskas, Irena Eitminaviciute, Reda Mazeikyte

“…The presented study aimed to explore the relationships between ambient ozone (O3) and tree defoliation, specific diversity, and abundance of soil microarthropods, stream macroinvertebrates, and small mammals (mainly rodents) in order to test the hypothesis that changes in the considered objects of the forest ecosystem could be related to changes in ambient O3, concentration of which is below critical level. …”

Cross-species comparisons between pigs and mice reveal conserved sex-specific intraspinal inflammatory responses after spinal cord injury by Reena Kumari, Gabrielle V. Hammers, Robert H. Hammons, Andrew N. Stewart, Steven M. MacLean, Tracy Niedzielko, Lonnie E. Schneider, Candace L. Floyd, John C. Gensel

“…Immunohistological evaluations of spinal cord tissue at 2 days and 6 weeks post-injury revealed intraspinal microglia/macrophage (IBA-1, CD68) and lymphocyte responses (T-cells (CD3) and B-cells (CD79a)) consistent with observations in rodents and humans. Astrocyte (GFAP) immunoreactivity was observed within the lesion core at 6 weeks in contrast to observations in rodents. …”

Hippocampal Neurogenesis, Depressive Disorders, and Antidepressant Therapy by Eleni Paizanis, Michel Hamon, Laurence Lanfumey

“…We herein review experimental and clinical data demonstrating that stress and antidepressant treatments affect neurogenesis in opposite direction in rodents. In particular, the stimulation of hippocampal neurogenesis by all types of antidepressant drugs supports the view that neuroplastic phenomena are involved in the physiopathology of depression and underlie—at least partly—antidepressant therapy.…”
