In this study, we investigated the effect of Capsaicin (CAP) on leptin and ghrelin expression in diabetic kidneys by immunohistochemical method. The subjects were separated into 5 groups: control, sham, diabetes, CAP, and D+CAP. Streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, single dose) was administered to each rat in the diabetes and D+CAP groups intraperitoneally. Rats with blood glucose levels of200 mg/dL or higher were considered diabetic. Capsaicin (1 mg/kg) was administered subcutaneously to the rats in the CAP and D+CAP groups every day for 2 weeks. H&E, PAS, and Crossman's Triple staining were performed to examine the histology of the kidney. Leptin and ghrelin in the kidney were examined by immunohistochemical method. Histological examination revealed normal kidney tissue in the control, sham, and CAP groups. The diabetes group showed the glomerulus with scattered and narrowing of the Bowman's capsule. While leptin immunoreactivity was most intense in the diabetes group, it was observed the weakest in the CAP and D+CAP groups. While strong ghrelin immunoreactivity was seen in the control and sham groups, mild immunoreactivity was seen in the CAP group, and weak immunoreactivity was seen in the diabetes and D+CAP groups. In this study, we concluded that the application of CAP could prevent loss of appetite by reducing the leptin expression during diabetes, but could not protect ghrelin from adverse effects of diabetes.

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparative differences of eggshell structure between geese and chickens during embryonic development by SEM. Goose eggs and chicken eggs were used for the study. Eggs of each species were divided into three groups: The eggs within first group were used subsequent to collection, those of second group were collected during the mid-point of incubation and those of third group were collected at the end of the incubation. The eggshells samples with dimensions of 0.5 cm2 were taken from the equatorial region of eggshells. After these samples were passed through routine process, they were examined via SEM for structural changes of eggshells and rate of elements. In the examination, there were not changes of eggshell structure between two species for days of the incubation. Eggshells thickness of each species and the rate of calcium, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon of eggshells were not statistically different among groups. It was concluded that structural changes of eggshell did not have significant effect on low yield for hatching of goose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
