The purpose of this work was to compare the profile of the cell body of the NADH-diaphorase positive myenteric neurons from the stomach of rats. It was used 10 animals (Rattus norvegicus), from groups a) control (n = 5), that during 210 days had ad libitum supply of chow with normal protein level (22%) and water; and b) experimental (n = 5), that during 210 days had ad libitum supply of chow with normal protein level (22%) and sugar cane brandy diluted to 30 Gay Lussac (30o v/v). The stomachs collected and subjected to the technique for neuronal staining. The cell body of the neurons (n = 1.000) was measured through a computerized system of image analysis. The profile of the neurons from the control rats ranged from 60.16 and 638.64 µm2. In the experimental group the values ranged from 40.84 to 599.15 µm2. We observed a significant decrease on the cell body size, increase of the small neurons and decrease of the large neurons
