Opioid receptors role on anti-nociceptive effects of the aqueous extracts of Melissa Officinalis in mice
Introduction: Melissa Officinalis (MO) overgrows in different parts of Iran. In previous studies, ethanol extract of aerial parts (leaf & stem) of MO showed anti-nconvulsant and sedative effects in rats. This study was designed to evaluate anti-nociceptive effects in different doses of aqueous decoction extracts of MO and the role of opioid receptors in rats. Methods: In this experimental stud...
متن کاملEffects of intracerebroventricular injection of vitamin B12 on formalin-induced muscle pain in rats: Role of cyclooxygenase pathway and opioid receptors
Vitamin B12 modulates pain at the local and peripheral levels. This study has investigated the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of vitamin B12 on themuscle pain. We used diclofenac (cyclooxygenase inhibitor) and naloxone (opioid receptors antagonist) to clarify the possible mechanisms. For ICV injections, a guide cannula was implanted in the left lateral ...
متن کاملGABAB receptors within the central nucleus of amygdala may involve in the morphine-induced incentive tolerance in female rats
Objective(s): Central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) is the most important region for morphine-induced reward, and GABAergic system plays an important role on morphine reinforcement. The influence of CeA administration of GABAB receptor agonist and antagonist on the expression and acquisition of morphine-induced incentive tolerance using conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm was investigated i...
متن کاملEndogenous Opioids, Opioid Receptors, and Incentive Processes
Endogenous opioid peptides and their receptors are involved in the modulation of a variety of behavioral functions because of their relatively diffuse distribution in the CNS. Recent research suggests that endogenous opioids modulate incentive processes. Incentives are environmental resources that motivate the organism to behave. Incentive motivation is activated by expectancies which, in turn,...
متن کاملEvaluation of nitric oxide or opioid receptors involvement in antinociceptive properties of silymarin
Objective: It has been shown that Silybum marianum or its extracts have hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in neurotransmission, neuroprotection, neurotoxicity and pathological pain, as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system. Therefore, this experiment was performed in orde...
