Twenty adult rats were divided into two groups; in one of them, we offered a normal ration with proteic level of 22% (control group) and in the other, a ration with a proteic level of 8% (experiment group) during 120 days. We did the whole-mount preparations for the ascending colon and stained them with the Giemsa technique and the histochemical technique of NADH-diaphorase. The rats with proteic desnutrition showed a body weight, on average, to be 35.1% less than those of the control group, and the colon was on average, 26.8% shorter and 6.7% narrower. Thus, it was to be expected that the colon of animals with proteic desnutrition had a neuronal density 31.62% greater than the rats of the control group. Nevertheless, the difference with the Giemsa technique was on average 18.4%, demonstrating a mean neuronal loss of 13.25%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-282x1997000500003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,17]],"date-time":"2010-10-17T01:12:42Z","timestamp":1287277962000},"page":"687-695","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Morphological
