RESEARCH TOPICS
1 As for toxicology analysis, the experimental studies on different biochemical parameters are carried out on various tissues, in particular on skeletal muscle. For the experimental investigation we considered animal models and human subjects with different pathologies, such as severe brain injury, chronic renal failure, cerebral stroke myopathies. Moreover the effects of aging, carbon monoxide poisoning, anesthetic and antiasthmatic drugs are considered. Moreover, our research field include also the pathology and pharmacology of gastroentheric tract, with respect to functional and inflammatory bowel diseases.
