[ 1 ] - Beneficial effect of Boswellia serrata gum resin on spatial learning and the dendritic tree of dentate gyrus granule cells in aged rats

Objective: The hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (DG), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. It is indicated that Boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of Boswellia serrata (Bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. This study was designed to investigat...

[ 2 ] - A Morphometeric Study on CA3 Hippocampal Field in Young Rats Following Maternal Administration of Boswellia Serrata Resin During Gestation

Objective It has previously been shown that prenatal maternal administration of Boswellia serrata gum resin (Frankincense) improved learning and memory performance associated with an increase in the size of neuronal bodies in CA3 (Cornu Ammonis) of hippocampus. Continuing the previous work, a morphometric study was designed on CA3 field to examine precisely the effect of prenatal administratio...

[ 3 ] - Effect of Boswellia serrata Triana & Planch. gum resin administration during lactation on morphology of pyramidal neurons in hippocampus of rat

Background & Aim: In traditional medicine, Boswellia species gum resin known as Frankincense or Olibanum, has been administrated in elderly for enhancement of memory and also in pregnant women to increase memory and intelligence of progeny. However, it has been rarely scientifically documented so far. We have previously reported that maternal administration of Frankincense during lacta...

[ 4 ] - اثر استرس صوتی بر رفتار اضطرابی و حجم هسته های آمیگدال موش بزرگ آزمایشگاهی

Background: In continuing our work on effects of noise stress, this study aimed to determine the effect of noise stress on the anxiety and the volume of the amygdale nuclei as a key brain component plays role in the anxiety. Methods: In this experimental study, two-months old Wistar male rats were randomly divided into noise stress and control groups (n=10 in each group). Control rats were ma...

[ 5 ] - بررسی اثر پیری بر حجم زیر نواحی هیپوکامپوس رت

Introduction: The hippocampus is a well-defined region of the brain involved in memory. Recent MRI studies have shown that there is hippocampal atrophy in elderly. However, in human studies, the influence of age on hippocampal atrophy is confounded with other variables, such as inadequate nutrition, psychological and physical stress. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of norma...

[ 6 ] - اثرات تجویز بلند مدت متامفتامین بر مخچۀ موش سوری نر: یک مطالعۀ استریولوژیک

مقدمه: متامفتامین محرک سیستم عصبی مرکزی است و ‌یکی از متداول‌ترین مواد مخدری است که در آمریکا و بعضی کشورهای آسیایی مانند ژاپن استفاده می‌شود. در ایران در سال‌های اخیر مصرف آن افزایش یافته است. هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی اثرات مصرف بلندمدت متامفتامین بر تعداد و اندازۀ‌ لایه‌‌های مختلف مخچه در موش سوری بود. مواد و روش‌ها: تعداد 30 موش سوری نر (وزن: 45 گرم، سن: 8 هفته ) به سه گروه ده تایی تقسیم شدن...

[ 8 ] - Stereological Method for Assessing the Effect of Vitamin C Administration on the Reduction of Acrylamide-induced Neurotoxicity

Introduction: Acrylamide (ACR) consumption is increasing all over the world. There are some evidence on the literature about its neurotoxic effect on mature animals, but the effects of ACR on postnatal development have been less studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ACR on development of cortical layer, white matter, and number of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum in ...

[ 9 ] - اثر محیط زندگی غنی شده بر حجم غده فوق کلیه موشهای صحرایی مواجه شده با استرس پیش از تولد

مقدمه: مطالعات نشان می دهند که استرس پیش از تولد باعث افزایش حجم غده فوق کلیه رتهای نر جوان شده است. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثر محیط نگهداری حیوانات در دوره بلوغ بر برگشت پذیری تغییرات ساختمان و عملکرد غده فوق کلیه ناشی از استرس پیش از تولد بود. مواد و روش ها: رتهای نر دو ماهه ویستار که در معرض استرس محدودیت حرکتی واقع شده بودند در سرتاسر ماه سوم زندگی در قفس با محیط استاندارد یا محیط غنی شده...

[ 10 ] - Effect of Boswellia serrata Triana & Planch. gum resin administration during lactation on morphology of pyramidal neurons in hippocampus of rat

Background & Aim: In traditional medicine, Boswellia species gum resin known as Frankincense or Olibanum, has been administrated in elderly for enhancement of memory and also in pregnant women to increase memory and intelligence of progeny. However, it has been rarely scientifically documented so far. We have previously reported that maternal administration of Frankincense during lacta...

[ 11 ] - Stereological Study on the Effects of Maternal Caffeine Consumption on Histomorphometric Changes of Testis and Prostate in Rat Offspring

Background and Objective: It is conceivable that caffeine consumption would induce gonadal changes. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of embryonic caffeine exposure on rat testis and prostate. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into (n=7): A control, only received drinking water. B and C groups received caffeine low dose (26 mg/kg) and high dose (45 mg/kg) respectively...

[ 12 ] - Using Surface Anatomy in Teaching The Anatomy of Upper Limb Vessels to Students of Allied Health Sciences

Introduction: Despite the abundant studies on teaching anatomy using cadaver, a few studies have documented the use of surface anatomy. Also, the majority of articles concerning human anatomy teaching have focused on medical student education and less attention has been paid to teaching anatomy to students of allied health sciences. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of teach...

[ 13 ] - Protective Effects of Curcumin on Sperm and Stereological Parameters in Testes of Formaldehyde-Exposed NMRI Mice: An Experimental Study

Background and Aims: Formaldehyde (FA) exposure is an important cause of cellular injury and oxidative damage in testis, leading to infertility. This study aimed to assess the protective effects of curcumin on sperm and stereological parameters in testes from formaldehyde-exposed NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: At 6-8 weeks of age, 24 adult male NMRI mice weighing 30-35 g were categorized in...
