چکیده

Recognition of the existence of measurable amounts of electrical currents within the animal body has been widespread ever since the initial experiments upon this form of energy by Galvani" and by Volta.'6' 17, 18 The measurement of action currents was a natural outgrowth of these discoveries. The clinical use of the electrocardiogram brought these phenomena first to the fore and later into the background of thought as the system became a routine of technological exploitation. Vacuum-tube amplifiers have made possible a refined approach to this subject from the biological point of view. Unfortunately, the refinements of method have been emphasized more than have the more significant experimental results. Today the field of electropotential variations is actually limited by the boundaries which must delimit experimental approach in the basic sciences. This blessing is not unmixed, for the application of these methods to fields other than those for which they were invented has led not only to misinterpretations but to the elaboration of unwarranted pseudophilosophical implications. It is not with this ideological compleity that the present study was planned to deal; its province is restricted to the interpretation of physiological manifestation recorded by the changes in electropotential of a specific living organism under specific conditions.

Chronic Ritalin Administration during Adulthood Increases Serotonin Pool in Rat Medial Frontal Cortex

Background: Ritalin has high tendency to be abused. It has been the main indication to control attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The college students may seek for it to improve their memory, decrease the need for sleep (especially during exams), which at least partially, can be related to serotonergic system. Therefore, it seems worthy to evaluate the effect of Ritalin intake on mature ...

Modulatory Effect of Vitamin C on Genotoxic Effect of Endosulfan in Developing Albino Rats

The genotoxic effect of endosulfan and the modulatory effect of vitamin C in growing albino rats were studied by bone marrow micronucleus assay. Seven days old male Wistar rats were treated with 3, 6, 9, 12mg/kg Endosulfan orally (10 pups/group),for up to 60 days, at intervals of 24h. For 2 more groups (n=10/group), Endosulfan 9mg/kg and 12mg/kg was administered along with vitamin C (20mg/kg). ...

EEG spectral power alternation & learning disability in rats exposure to lead through prenatal developing age

Introduction: Lead intoxication in children has been associated with neurodevelopment disabilities that may result in motor and cognitive impairment. The aim of the present study is to evaluate in long term effects of prenatal exposure to low-level Pb2+ on learning, memory and EEG. Materials & Methods: Rat pregnant were exposed to distilled water or 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 % of Pb-acetate in the dr...

Effect of magnesium sulfate on hyperthermia and pentylen-tetrazol-induced seizure in developing rats

Objective(s): Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common type of convulsive events among children. Its prevalence has been estimated to be 2-5% in children between 3 months and 5 years old. Also, blood and CSF magnesium levels have been demonstrated to be reduced in children with FS. This study investigates the effect of MgSo4 pretreatment on the behaviors caused by hyperthermia (HT) and effect ...

Nicotinomid Adenin Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d) Activity and CB-28 kDa Immunoreactivity in Spinal Neurons of Neonatal Rats after a Peripheral Nerve Lesion

Our previous studies have shown that median and ulnar nerve lesion induced calbindin (CB) immunoreactivity in some injured motoneurons in developing rats. Motoneuron death induced by sciatic nerve transection in neonatal rats has been related to induction of neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The present study investigated whether expression of CB and nicotinomid adenin dinucleot...

Effect of Phoenix Dactylifera Pollen on Sperm Parameters and Reproductive system of Adult Male Rats

Background: There is a rapidly growing trend in the consumption of herbal remedies in the developing countries. The Phoenix dactylifera date palm pollen (DPP) is used in the traditional medicine for male infertility. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of orally administered DPP on the reproductive system of adult male rats. Methods: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained acco...
