Background: The use of deep fried oils (DFOs) to cook foods is associated with numerous diseases. Although the role physical activity and some supplements on fat lipolysis has been established, effect aerobic training (AT) octopamine (Oct) receptor-dependent pathway not well understood. Objectives: present study aimed investigate AT Oct supplementation expression receptors in visceral adipose t...

This study evaluates the effects of hydro-alcoholic root extract Delphinium denudatum Wall (Jadwar, family; Ranunculaceae) for its ability to attenuate nicotine-withdrawal in nicotine-dependent rats. The physical dependence on nicotine was induced male adult Wistar albino rats (175-250 g) by subcutaneous implantation Alzet mini osmotic pumps which supplied at 9.0mg/kg/day, while control receive...

Many studies have confirmed the traditional use of Ximenia americana (Olacaceae). Its different parts, leaf, fruit, roots, stem bark and root showed pharmacological potentials. X. is a plant which possessed antibacterial, antidiabetic, antiviral anticancer properties. The present study was undertaken to evaluate oral acute subchronic toxicity hydroethanolic extract on Sprague Dawley rats. In te...

CCK-A receptor-deficient Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats are hyperphagic and develop obesity and Type 2 diabetes. In this strain, taste preference functions have not been investigated. Therefore, a series of short-access, two-bottle tests were performed in age-matched prediabetic OLETF and nonmutant Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats to investigate preference for sucrose (0....

introduction: cholinergic systems are involved in learning and memory. scopolamine, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, is used as a standard/ reference drug for inducing cognitive deficits in healthy humans and animals. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of scopolamine on avoidance memory and number of neurons in rat’s hippocampus. . methods: thirty five male alb...

introduction: it is clear that the proliferation, migration and differentiation processes of embryonic fetal neural tissue are dependent on special trophic factors. these factors are absent or lessl seen in adult tissue. in this research the effects of fetal brain extract (fbe) on the regenerational processes of lesioned prepheral nerve were investigated. materials and methods: the facial nerve...

The aim of this study was to determine the ameliorative effect aqueous leaf extract Moringa oleifera on diabetes induced appetite and testicular weight loss in wistar rats. Freshly harvested leaves processed into powder subsequently extract. Thirty (30) adult male rats were divided six groups five each. Group 1 normal control which only fed with rat chow water ad libitum. II without treatment, ...
