A report from the University of Guadalajara discusses the impact of chronic fluoride exposure on dental health and growth in male Wistar rats at different developmental stages. The study found that prolonged exposure to fluoride can have adverse effects on different tissues, and it can cross the placental barrier and be present in breast milk, leading to prenatal exposure. The research showed that high concentrations of fluoride had negative effects on adult individuals, including reproductive and developmental effects. The study also highlighted that the effects of chronic fluoride exposure vary depending on the developmental stage of the individual at the time of exposure. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico aimed to validate and assess the reliability of the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) in a Mexican population with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study involved 100 healthy controls and 100 MS patients, who completed three tests of the BICAMS. The results showed that the MS group performed significantly worse than the healthy controls on all three neuropsychological tests. The researchers concluded that the BICAMS can provide valuable information on cognitive impairment in MS patients, which can be used for cognitive rehabilitation. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico has found that certain strains of Lactobacillus bacteria and their extracts have the potential to counteract the genotoxicity and oxidative stress caused by acrylamide, a compound found in many thermally processed food products. The researchers used Lactobacillus caseiShirota and Lactobacillus reuteriNRRL B-14171 strains, which were cultured and subjected to mechanical and enzymatic treatments to obtain intra and extracellular extracts. The study found that both strains and their extracts demonstrated the ability to reduce lipid peroxidation and genotoxicity caused by acrylamide. These findings suggest that the use of Lactobacillus extracts could be a viable alternative for reducing the harmful effects of acrylamide without the need for live bacteria.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico examined the effects of high fluoride levels in water on non-verbal intelligence in young adults. The study included participants from different cities in Mexico with varying fluoride concentrations in their water. The researchers found an inverse relationship between the concentration of fluoride in urine and IQ scores, with higher fluoride levels associated with lower IQ scores. This study suggests a potential link between fluoride exposure and cognitive function in adults. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by the Mexican Social Security Institute in Jalisco, Mexico, has found that beta-caryophyllene (BCP) has neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in a model of hemiparkinsonism. BCP, which activates the type 2 cannabinoid receptor, demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, leading to improvements in motor dysfunction and inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The study suggests that BCP has the potential to mitigate motor deficits and reduce neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease. The research was supported by the Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologias (CONAHCYT) and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico have developed a low-cost pupillometer, a device that measures the response of the pupil to LED flash stimuli. This non-invasive technique can be used to analyze the photomotor reflex and diagnose mental, ocular, and other health conditions. The researchers implemented an experimental prototype that includes a web camera and a lighting system to capture pupillary images and induce stimuli. They also developed a robust algorithm to estimate pupil diameters and analyze pupillary behavior. This research provides a new tool for medical diagnosis and expands access to specialized equipment.
