“…This diet is referred to as the “Regional Basic Diet” (RBD) and is multi‐deficient with only 8% of protein, mostly of vegetable origin (Teodosio et al, 1990), that has been provided to rats during the gestational period. In a previous study, we have shown a decrease of the GABAergic neurons in the retina of postnatal rats whose mothers were treated with RBD during the suckling period (Almeida et al, 2001). This decrease is shown at early ages and seems to recover during postnatal development, returning to the same value as in the control group after 30 days.…”

“…The components of both diets are described in Almeida et al (2001). The RBD diet has not only a low protein content (8%), but it has high carbohydrates and fibers and low fat, vitamins and essential and non-essential amino acids as defined by Teodó sio et al (1990).…”

“…By applying this diet in lactating rat pups we have attempted to reproduce a type of malnutrition similar to human beings of that region, which leads to several changes in nervous function, in cortical development and in the amount of proteins, RNA and DNA , Teodó sio et al 1990). These animals have also increased susceptibility to drug-induced convulsions (Cabral-Filho et al 1986), increased velocity of cortical spreading depression (Rocha-De-Mello and Guedes 1997) and changes in the expression of some neurotransmitters (Almeida et al 2001).…”

“…Provavelmente, a diferença expressiva encontrada nos animais desnutridos por meio de testes comportamentais, se deva a alterações em outros processos não analisáveis com a abordagem deste estudo, como diminuição no número de sinapses, diminuição da arborização dendrítica, alterações na expressão de neurotransmissores, menor quantidade de DNA, entre outros (Morgan & Naismith, 1982;Zamenhof, 1991;Almeida et al, 2001). É importante a realização de novos estudos com técnicas mais rebuscadas capazes de analisar principalmente as estruturas intracelulares.…”
