Histological Aspects of Cerebrum and Cerebellum in Adult Male and Female Mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii)
BACKGROUND: Mongooses are small carnivores residing in different regions from Africa to southeast Asia. The Indian gray mongoose (Herpestes Edwardsii) is one of the mongoose species that is mostly found in southern Asia particularly India and the south of Iran. Anatomical studies on the animal's brain have always been of interest to the scientist due to its high importance in various branches o...
متن کاملDifferential acetylcholinesterase activity in rat cerebrum, cerebellum and hypothalamus.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been purified from three different regions of rat brain using Sephadex G 200 column. SDS PAGE (6%) showed single band for the purified AChE fractions. Purified and lyophilized AChE from different (NH4)2SO4 precipitated fractions of three brain parts were utilized for in vitro enzyme kinetics using Dimethoate (Dmt) as inhibitor. K(m) values for cerebellum and hypo...
متن کاملComparative Effect of Silymarin and D-Penicillamine on Lead Induced Hemotoxicity and Oxidative Stress in Rat
Background: This study was performed to investigate the adverse effects of acute lead intoxication on hemogram, erythrocyte osmotic fragility and oxidant/antioxidant status and the probable ameliorating effect of silymarin in comparison to d-penicillamine. Methods: Forty-eight albino rats were divided in 8 groups and received the following treatments in a 10 day experiment in Shahid Chamran ...
متن کاملMaturational patterns of iodothyronine phenolic and tyrosyl ring deiodinase activities in rat cerebrum, cerebellum, and hypothalamus.
To explore the control of thyroid hormone metabolism in brain during maturation, we have measured iodothyronine deiodination in homogenates of rat cerebrum, cerebellum, and hypothalamus from 1 d postnatally through adulthood. Homogenates were incubated with (125)I-l-thyroxine (T(4)) + [(131)I]3,5,3'-l-triiodothyronine (T(3)) + 100 mM dithiothreitol. Nonradioactive T(4), T(3), and 3,3',5'-triiod...
متن کاملMorphometric Changes of Rat Testis After Subchronic Oal Lead Intoxication and D-Penicillamine Treatment
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of D-Penicillamine in reducing lead induced morphometric changes in rat testis. Materials and Methods: Male adult rats were exposed to 0.4% lead acetate in drinking water for 8 weeks. After this period, 6 rats sacrificed and testes were removed to evaluate the effects of lead intoxication. The remained lead exposed rats were divided int...
