The effect of Gallic acid on prenatal entorhinal cortex and CA1/CA3 hippocampal areas in trimethyltin intoxication rat
Background: Prenatal intoxication with trimethyletin (TMT) induces widespread neuronal death in the central nervous system by inducing oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant effect of gallic acid (GA) on the neuronal density of the entorhinal cortex, hippocampal pyramidal cells and oxidative stress parameters in the fetal forebrain following TMT intoxication. ...
متن کاملInhibiting dopamine reuptake blocks the induction of long-term potentiation and depression in the lateral entorhinal cortex of awake rats.
Synaptic plasticity in olfactory inputs to the lateral entorhinal cortex may result in lasting changes in the processing of olfactory stimuli. Changes in dopaminergic tone can have strong effects on basal evoked synaptic responses in the superficial layers of the entorhinal cortex, and the current study investigated whether dopamine may modulate the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) and...

The effects of intraperitoneal injection of N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA, a selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist) and 8-cyclopenthyle-I-3-dimethylexanthine (CPT, a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist) on entorhinal cortex-kindled seizures were investigated. Fully entorhinal cortex-kindled rats received normal saline (control), CHA (0.06, 0.12 and 0.25 mg/kg) or CPT (0.06 and 0.12 mg/kg...
متن کاملDopaminergic Modulation of Entorhinal Cortex Function
Dopaminergic Modulation of Entorhinal Cortex Function Douglas A. Caruana, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2008 The neurotransmitter dopamine has been shown to play an important role in the mnemonic functions of the prefrontal cortex, but it is unclear how dopamine may affect sensory and mnemonic processing in the entorhinal cortex. Midbrain dopamine neurons project to the superficial layers of the ...
متن کاملNeuroprotective Effect of Gallic Acid on Memory Deficit and Content of BDNF in Brain Entorhinal Cortex of Rat’s Offspring in Uteroplacental Insufficiency Model
Introduction: Uteroplacental insufficiency (UPI) causes neurodevelopmental deficits affecting the intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) offspring. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Gallic acid (GA) on memory deficit and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) content in entorhinal cortex of UPI rat models. Methods: In this experimental study, 40 pregnant Wistar rats were randomly div...
