Research

Scientific activity of the Department of Clinical Physiology:

Research conducted at the Department of Clinical Physiology focuses primarily on the analysis of the chemical coding of neurons of the enteric nervous system, as well as the search for sources of innervation of pig internal organs. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence techniques are used in the experiments. Additionally, the Department uses methods of reverse labelling of neurons using the Fast Blue marker. The method used allows the identification of neurons supplying the examined organ, and then enables the identification of biologically active substances synthesized by the examined neuron and used by this neuron to regulate the functions of the organ it supplies. The Department's scientific workshop also includes experimental induction of pathological conditions and the study of adaptive variability (chemical coding) of nervous system cells in response to selected substances and pathological stimuli.
Currently, research conducted at the Department mainly concerns:
The effect of different doses of acrylamide on neurons of the enteric nervous system.
The influence of microplastics on the chemical coding of neurons of the pig enteric nervous system.
The influence of various forms of bisphenol on the digestive system of mice.
The influence of chronic hyperglycaemia on the digestive system of pigs.
Experimental inflammation of the porcine uterus on the motor activity of this organ.
