Purpose: to evaluate the chronic action of primaquine diphosphate on the pregnancy of female albino rats. Methods: sixty pregnant female rats, separated into six groups, were used. Group I received daily, by gavage, 1 ml of distilled water from day zero to the 20th day of pregnancy (control group). The female rats of the other groups also received daily, by gavage, during the same period of time the volume of 1 ml containing gradually concentrated primaquine diphosphate solution: 0.25 mg/kg, group II; 0.50 mg/kg, group III; 0.75 mg/kg, group IV; 1.5 mg/kg, group V and 3.0 mg/kg, group VI. The maternal weights were considered on day zero and on the 7th, 14th and 20th days of pregnancy, when the matrices were sacrificed. Results: the results showed that primaquine diphosphate, in the used doses, did not interfere with none of the following variables: maternal weight, newborn weight, medium individual weight of fetuses, weight of the group of placentas and medium individual weight of the placentas, implantation number, number of placentas and number of fetuses, when compared with the control group. Also there was no case of reabsorption, malformation, maternal mortality or intrauterine death, in any of the studied groups. Conclusion: in the conditions of the study there were no contraindications for the continuous use of primaquine diphosphate during the pregnancy of the female rat.

Investigação dos prejuízos motores decorrentes da exposição crônica ao etanol, em ratas intoxicadas da adolescência à fase adulta
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-19) SILVA, Fernando Bezerra Romualdo da; MAIA, Cristiane do Socorro Ferraz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4835820645258101
According to the World Health Organization, ethanol is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world, occupying a prominent place by now be considered a public health problem worldwide. His heavy drinking among adolescents is on the rise, from 15 years and young adults A wide variety of research related to its damaging many organs and body systems effects, as well as damage and degeneration of the central nervous system structures, and the cerebellum one of its main targets is the affinity of the substance for cellular structures is the ability to generate a cascade of deleterious processes . The aim of this study was to evaluate behavioral changes associated with the cerebellum in rats chronically intoxicated with ethanol adolescence to adulthood. Female at 35 days of postnatal life received during 55 days, ethanol by gavage. After this period of intoxication, the animals underwent a battery of tests to assess motor deficits. Behavioral tests consisted Open Field, Pole Test, Walking Beam and Rotarod. The results showed that animals exposed to ethanol displayed motor deficits in all behavioral tests. Although several mechanisms are associated with cerebellar degeneration, further studies should be conducted to investigate the true effect of this drug and their correlation wiser the results obtained in this research.
