Nucleolar areas and the nucleolar/nuclear ratios in megacolonic neurons of chagasic patients

Data were recorded on the mean nucleolar areas of neurons from the megacolon of chagasic patients, and neurons from the colon of non-chagasic subjects. The significant differences obtained were indicative of a higher level of nucleolar activity in the megacolon neurons of the chagasic, than in the c...

Descrição
Resumo:Data were recorded on the mean nucleolar areas of neurons from the megacolon of chagasic patients, and neurons from the colon of non-chagasic subjects. The significant differences obtained were indicative of a higher level of nucleolar activity in the megacolon neurons of the chagasic, than in the colon of non-chagasic, patients. Chagasic and non-chagasic individuals in the samples analysed were not significantly different in their nucleolar/nuclear ratios, due to an increase of nuclear areas in parallel with an increase of nucleolar areas in chagasic subjects.
