Animals Sacrifice & Histologic Samples

Conventional Microscopy

The mice were euthanized in CO2 chambers.

  • Incision of the skin with a blade nº 23
  • Finding and isolation of the pretibial muscle using Metzenbaum scissors
  • Section of tendons with a Mayo scissors.
  • Fixation of Portions of the muscles on sections of cork oak
  • Embedding using 50% formaldehyde solution - 10% buffered and 50% of pure paraffin for conventional optical microscopic study.
  • Staining Sections as routine histological process.
  • Microtome used : Leika RM 2155
  • Coloration of muscle slices with

-hematoxilin-eosin
-Masson´s trichrome
-and red picro-sirius.

  • Histologic examination was realized with a conventional microscope (Olympus BH-2).
  • Observation under polarized lampe
  • Photographic documentation was realized with a Leika DMR microscope joined to a digital camera Leika CD 300F and compatible PC.

Material

6 rats/box
  • Animals were divided in 6 boxes, so that boxes from number 1 to 5 had 5 rats and box number 6 had 4 rats 
  • All animals were submitted to a walking evaluation by footprint impression on special paper , and previous immersion of back legs on a soap solution. 
  • Box 1 had the control group, that received the application of 0,1 ml saline solution ( NaCl 0,9%) on the right pretibial muscle. 
  • The mice of boxes 2 to 5 received 0,1 ml of Endopeels Original Main Product on the same muscle as control group.

  • Box 6 was constituted of 4 rats, and each one received 0,5 ml of Endopeels original main product injected on the subcutaneous layer. 

  • All the animals were submitted to walking evaluation before and after their respective injections.

10 days after Endopeel Injection 0.1ml in the right pretibial muscle.

Here you may see the formation of the vacuoles which are surrounded by lymphocytes. Vacuoles are different from tissue necrosis . The presence of lymphocytes is related to the permeability of the cell membranes.

What is seen in black on the pictures is not a necrosis like could imagine some scientifics !
In fact, 4 conclusions have to be taken in consideration

  • an artefact of coloration
  • an absence of necrosis
  • an apoptosis
  • a bioregenerative process

conclusions
    • Endopeel induces a selective reversible myofibrolysis and  inflammatory reaction on a period of 1 month, approximately
    • Muscular changes are reversible in almost   full totality
    • The muscle is the better place to inject Endopeel because of more efficacity, control and duration of  its action
    • No necrosis nor abcess have been found all over the study.
