    THE IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL AND ULTRASTRUCTURAL EVALUATION OF PERICYTES IN HUMAN FULL TERM PLACENTAS OF GESTASYONAL DIABETES MELLITUS
    (Carbone Editore, 2013) Deveci, E.; Soker, S.; Turgut, A.; Aktas, A.; Ayaz, E.; Sak, S.; Seker, U.
    Pericytes, vessel wall plays a stabilizing role in the regulation of blood flow in the microcirculation. The purpose of this study is based on non-diabetic pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes pregnancies to investigate the morphological structure of pericyte cells. In this study, as a control group human placental tissues from normotensive pregnancies was collected from diabetic wome at 28-35 weeks of gestation. Pericytes with smooth alpha-actin positive cells, endothelial cells, and painted like a belt was surrounded. Pericytes, capillary plexus and endothelial cells of large vessels in the mesenchyme around the middle shows desmin positive reaction. Placental micro vessels examined by transmission electron microscopy showed many pericytes. Placentas of gestational diabetes group, heterochromatin nucleus hypertrophy, dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria cristae in length, shortening was observed thickening of the filamentary structure. The contractile function of the barrier formed by endothelial cells, pericytes and can increase the contractions were considered

    Protective effect of ethyl pyruvate on liver injury in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
    (Univ Catholique Louvain-Ucl, 2012) Akkoc, H.; Kelle, I.; Tunik, S.; Bahceci, S.; Sencar, L.; Ayaz, E.; Nergiz, Y.
    Background and aims : Diabetes Mellitus, leading to an increase in oxidative stress, can cause liver damage. Our aim was to investigate the antioxidant effects of Ethyl Pyruvate (EP) on the liver tissue in diabetic rats. Materials and methods : Thirty-two Wistar albino rats were separated into four equal groups. Groups were assigned as follows : (1) Non-diabetic group; (2) EP-treated non-diabetic group; (3) diabetic group; and (4) EP-treated diabetic group. In order to induce diabetes mellitus, 45 mg/kg b.w. streptozotocin was administered intraperitoneally to the rats in groups 3 and 4. On the 3rd day, blood glucose was assessed. Rats with blood glucose levels higher than 300 mg/dl were considered to be diabetic. The EP solution was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w. twice daily for 14 days to the rats in groups 2 and 4. The other rats were simultaneously given the same amount of Ringer's lactate solution intraperitoneally. Liver tissue was obtained for malondialdehyde (MDA) analyses and histopathological examination. Results : In group 4, Total Antioxidant Status (TOS) and MDA levels were significantly lower as compared to group 3. Also, morphological abnormalities occurred in group 3 when compared with non-diabetic groups (groups 1 and 2), whereas the disorders resulting from diabetes improved significantly in group 4. Conclusions : These findings show that EP has protective effects against diabetes-induced liver injury. (Acta gastroenterol. belg, 2012. 75, 336-341).

    Ultrastructural Changes in the Kidney Cortex of Rats Treated with Lead Acetate
    (Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2011) Deveci, E.; Soker, S.; Baran, O.; Tunik, S.; Ayaz, E.; Deveci, S.
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the ultrastructural effects of lead on the kidney cortex of rats. Wistar Albino rats (180-200g body weight) were divided into a controlled and lead acetate-exposed group. Rats received lead acetate at 500 ppm in their drinking water for 60 days. Both groups were fed with the same standard food, but lead acetate was added to the drinking water. During the experimental period, blood samples were taken from the abdominal aorta of the anesthetised animals. At the end of exposure, body weight and blood lead levels were measured. The kidney tissue samples were prepared and analyzed by light and transmission electron microscopy. Cortical renal tubules show various degenerative changes with focal tubular necrosis invaded by inflammatory cells. The ultrastructural alterations found in lead acetate-treated rats were a diminution in the amount of filtration slits, increased fusion of foot processes in epithelial cells of the glomeruli, increase of lysosomal structures and pinocytic vesicles as well as large mitochondria in proximal tubule cells.
