[ 1 ] - Transient inactivation of the central amygdala modulates metabolic and hormonal responses to acute stress in female rats

Introduction: Current study examined the possible role of the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) transient inactivation on the metabolic and hormonal disturbances induced by acute electro foot shock stress in female rats. Considering the differences between female and male in responses to stress, this study attempts to reveal possible mechanisms underlying these differences. Methods: Uni- or bil...

[ 2 ] - Comparison of effect of intraperitoneal vs. intra-accumbal injection of memantine on response to acute stress in female NMRI mice

Introduction: In this study, the effect of memantine administration into the nucleus accumbens on the metabolic changes induced by acute stress in female mice was evaluated. Methods: Intra-accumbens unilateral or bilateral canulation was performed. One week after recovery, a group of animals were given memantine (1, 0.5, and 0.1 μg/mouse) five min before stress induction intra-accumbally, an...

[ 3 ] - Effect of prolonged exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields on the interaction of nitrergic and cholinergic systems in the isolated rat trachea

Introduction: Nitric Oxide is an important endogenous compound that acts as bronchodilator in trachea. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect nitric oxide level in different tissues. The interaction of nitrergic and cholinergic systems in airways has been reported. Therefore, the present study was performed to evaluate the interaction of cholinergic and nitrergic systems in the trachea of rats ...
