[ 1 ] - Cross-talks between the kidneys and the central nervous system in multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease, which is considered as a common autoimmune disorder in young adults. A growing number of evidences indicated that the impairment in non-neural tissues plays a significant role in pathology of MS disease. There are bidirectional relationship, metabolic activities and functional similarity between central nervous system (CNS) and k...

[ 2 ] - High and low temperatures affect rat hippocampal synaptosome’s viability and functions

Introduction: Synaptosomes are sealed particles that contain mitochondria, cytoskeleton and vesicles which are necessary to synaptic events like neurotransmitter release and uptake in the nervous system. However, the effect of high and low temperatures on synaptosome membrane integrity and function during a time course after its extraction is less known. The purpose of this study was to assess ...

[ 3 ] - Arbutin attenuates behavioral impairment and oxidative stress in an animal model of Parkinson's disease

Objective: Arbutin has been shown to have antioxidant and free-radical scavenging properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of arbutin administration on behavioral impairment, and oxidative and nitrosative stress in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced animal model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Materials and Methods: PD model was developed by 4 int...

[ 4 ] - اثرات ضدتشنجی هسپرتین در مدل حیوانی تشنج القا شده با پنتیلن تترازول

سابقه و هدف: هسپرتین به عنوان فلاونوئید مهم مرکبات، دارای خواص فارماکولوژیکی متعددی از جمله اثرات آنتی اکسیدانی و ضدالتهابی است. در این مطالعه، اثرات  هسپرتین بر رفتار تشنجی و عملکرد آن بر ظرفیت تام آنتی اکسیدانی و شاخص پراکسیداسیون لیپید در مدل تشنج القا شده با پنتیلن تترازول بررسی  شده است. مواد و روش­ها: در این مطالعه تجربی، تعداد ۳۵ سر موش NMRI در پنج گروه ۷تایی کنترل، سالین و دوزهای ۱۰، ۲...

[ 5 ] - Myristica fragrans Houtt extract attenuates neuronal loss and glial activation in pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling model

Inflammatory reactions are closely associated with the development and progression of epilepsy. It has been shown that inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are released from activated astrocytes and microglia, are considered to be an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of epileptic disorders. Regarding the anti-inflammatory effects of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt), t...

[ 7 ] - Prenatal zinc supplementation ameliorates hippocampal astrocytes activation and inflammatory cytokines expression induced by lipopolysaccharide in a rat model of maternal immune activation

Objective: There is evidence that gestational exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in fetal zinc deficiency, and eventually neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In this study, we utilized a rat model of maternal immune activation (MIA) to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of zinc supplementation throughout pregnancy on hippocampal astrocytes activation as well as inflammatory...
