Histomorphometric Evaluation of the Small Coronary Arteries in Rats Exposed to Industrial Noise

Abstract: Morphological changes induced by industrial noise (IN) have been experimentally observed in several organs. Histological observations of the coronary arteries showed prominent perivascular tissue and fibrosis among IN-exposed rats. The effects on the small arteries are unknown. Objective: To evaluate the histomorphometric changes induced by IN on rat heart small arteries. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats exposed to IN during a maximum period of seven months and 20 age-matched controls were studied. Hearts were tran… Show more

“…In humans, sleep disturbance is associated with a proinflammatory state [41]. As previously mentioned, the common finding in the noise experiments conducted by our group was the perivascular and myocardial fibrotic development in the absence of inflammatory cells [20][21][22][23]. In the present study, we included a group of IFS-exposed animals treated with dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid member with immunosuppressive potency of about 20-30 times that of hydrocortisone and 4-5 times of prednisone [42,43].…”

“…Previous work from our group, in Wistar rats, investigated the histomorphometric changes in the large and small coronary arteries induced by high-intensity industrial noise within a wide spectrum of wavelengths that included LFN, this last characterized by large sound pressure amplitude ≥90 dB and low-frequency bands of ≤500 Hz [20,21]. The exposure time ranged from 1 to 7 months.…”

“…In this research, the histomorphometric measurements were performed using the Image J 1.51, Java 1.8.0_101 (64-bit) digital image analysis software. This program is widely used in scientific research involving quantification and analysis of images [5][6][7][8][9][10] , with programming platform based on the Java language. In a systematic way, all the photomicrographs were processed according to the same algorithm.…”
