[ 1 ] - The Effect of NO System on Ethidium Bromide-Induced Oxidative Stress in the Hippocampal Formation of Male Rats

Background Acute and chronic effects of nitric oxide on oxidative stress and neuronal demyelination have been reported in human and animal models.  Objective Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of demyelinated animals; thus, this study investigated the effects of nitric oxide system and ethidium bromide on oxidative stress in the hippocampal formation.   Methods This experimental...

[ 2 ] - The Protective Effects of Saffron Extract "Crocus sativus'' on Oxidative Stress Reduction in Male Rats with Parkinson’s Disease

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is among the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Given the powerful antioxidant effects of the saffron extract on the removal of free radicals, this study aimed to investigate the protective effects of the saffron extract on reducing oxidative stress in a rat model of Parkinson's disease pretreated with saffron.   Materials & Methods: In this experim...

[ 3 ] - The effect of ethanolic extract of Ferula szowitsiana on cognitive deficits and lipid peroxidation induced by ethidium bromide in experimental model of MS

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term microinjection of Ferula szowitsiana extract on the process of spatial memory and lipid peroxidation in the hippocampus in an experimental model of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: In this experimental study, 35 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. Each group has 7 rats. These groups were inclu...

[ 5 ] - The effects of Quercetin on memory and oxidative stress impairment due to Malathion poisoning in male Wistar rats

Malathion is one of the commonest type of organophosphate insecticide whose toxicity in human body is mainly considered to result from the induction of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of Quercetin, a flavonoid compound, on the spatial memory and oxidative stress parameters during Malathion poisoning in male Wistar rats. This study was performed ...
