introduction: transient hyperglycemia is a condition that happens during acute physiologic stress in children.  the aim of this study is to determine if there is any relation between stress hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome in pediatric patients.   materials and methods:  the study was performed on children hospitalized in amirkola pediatric hospital, north of iran, bet...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-treatment with curcumin on metabolic changes induced by two different pathophysiological mechanisms in rats (fructose diet and streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetes mellitus). materials and methods: five groups with 10 rats per group were investigated: control group (healthy rats), fructose diet groups without any pre-treatme...

Introduction: The role of different parts of the extended amygdala in metabolic signs of stress is not well understood. In the present study, we decided to evaluate the impact of the shell part of nucleus accumbens (NAc) on metabolic disturbance induced by electro foot shock stress using transient inactivation method in the rat.  Methods: Male Wistar rats (W: 230-250 g) were canuulated un...

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...

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, and t...

reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle has been decreased over the last 5 decades despite significant gains in genetic selection, improved reproductive technologies and nutritional care. in high-yielding dairy cattle, the negative energy balance (neb) during the first week post-partum adversely affects ovarian activity, mainly follicle growth and steroidogenesis. circulating levels of non-este...
