[ 1 ] - Comparison of acute effects of heroin and Kerack on sensory and motor activity of honey bees (Apis mellifera)

Objective(s):Previous studies demonstrated a functional similarity between vertebrate and honey bee nervous systems. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of heroin and Iranian street Kerack, a combination of heroin and caffeine, on sensory threshold and locomotor activity in honey bees. Materials and Methods: All drugs were given orally to honey bees 30 min before each exper...

مقدمه: استفاده از گیاهان باززایی شده عرصه نوینی را در تولید داروهای گیاهی فراهم آورده است. هدف: در این پژوهش، اثر ضد‌دردی عصاره آبی بخش‌های هوایی گیاه باز‌زایی شده Drosera spatulata از خانواده دروزراسه بر روی موش‌های سفید بزرگ (250 – 200 گرم) نژاد اسپراگ با استفاده از آزمون فرمالین ارزیابی شده است. روش بررسی: قطعات جدا کشت برگی گیاه D. spatulata به مدت 3 ماه بر روی محیط کشت جامد MS موراشیگ ...

[ 3 ] - Effect of aqueous extract of Drosera Spatulata on firing rate of paragigantocellularis nucleus neurons after pain induction by formalin in rats

Introduction: Previously, we demonstrated that i.p. injection of aqueous extract prepared from aerial parts of Drosera Spatulata (Droseraceae) can induced remarkable analgesia in both phases of formalin test in rats. Because, analgesia induced in acute phase of formalin test mainly mediated by activation of central analgesic mechanisms and also paragigantocellularis (PGi) nucleus is part of bra...

[ 4 ] - Role of matrix metalloproteinase II on analgesic effect of nitric oxide inhibition in rat

Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 is one of the inflammatory mediators that is involved in nociceptive processing and its production is regulated by many inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide. We studied the role of MMP-2 on the analgesic effects of nNOS inhibitor. Methods: Considering that nitric oxide has many roles in pain processing, we studied the CSF levels of MMP-2 ...
