ABSTRACT
The present study evaluated the effects of the sweetener aspartame on the fetal pancreas, through a morphometric study, with the objective of studying the exocrine pancreas at the end of gestational development. For this we utilized two treated groups, one with a solution of aspartame at ambient temperature and the other with an aspartame solution heated to 40C, and two groups treated with water ad libitum, at ambient temperature and heated to 40C, respectively. On the final day of gestation the fetuses were removed and the pancreas was collected for microscopic analysis. The morphometric study demonstrated alteration in eight out of the eleven parameters studied in the group treated with the heated solution and one parameter altered in the group treated with solution at ambient temperature.
RESUMEN
El presente estudio evalúa los efectos del endulzante aspartame en el páncreas fetal de rata, a través del estudio morfométrico, con el objetivo de conocer el páncreas exocrino al final del desarrollo gestacional. Fueron utilizados dos grupos tratados, uno con una solución de aspartame a temperatura ambiente y otro con una solución de aspartame calentada a 40C, y dos grupos tratados con agua ad libitum, a temperatura ambiente y calentada a 40 C, respectivamente. En el último día de gestación los fetos fueron removidos y el páncreas fue extraído para el análisis microscópico. El estudio morfométrico demostró alteraciones en ocho de los once parámetros estudiados en el grupo tratado con solución de aspartame calentada y un parámetro alterado en el grupo tratado con solución a temperatura ambiente.
