Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder and this disorder shows impairment in reciprocal social interactions, deficits in communication, and restrictive and repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests. The effect of music on short-term memory in the view of cell proliferation in the hippocampus was evaluated using valproic acid-induced autistic rat pups. Animal model of autism was made by su...

Maternal obesity exerts negative effects on cognitive function and behavior of the offspring. In the present study, we assessed the effects of paternal physical exercise on spatial learning ability in relation with hippocampal neuroplasticity in the rat pups born from the obese maternal rats. There were four experimental groups: paternal nonexercised male pups from normal maternal rats, paterna...

abstract introduction: omega 3 fatty acid especially in the form of fish oil, has structural and biological role in the body's various systems especially nervous system. numerous studies have tried to research about it. auditory is one of the affected systems. omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. this study aimed to evaluate neural conduction ...

objective(s): the effect of litter size and suckling intensity on the expression of kiss-1 mrna in the arcuate nucleus (arc) of rats were evaluated. materials and methods: thirty two pregnant and four non-lactating ovariectomized (as control group) rats were used in this experiment. lactating rats were allotted to eight equal groups. in three groups, litter size was adjusted to 5, 10, or 15 pup...

Objective(s): The effect of litter size and suckling intensity on the expression of KiSS-1 mRNA in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of rats were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Thirty two pregnant and four non-lactating ovariectomized (as control group) rats were used in this experiment. Lactating rats were allotted to eight equal groups. In three groups, litter size was adjusted to 5, 10, or 15 pup...

Physical activities for a few days can increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA in rat hippocampus. To investigate the influence of maternal exercise during pregnancy on rat pup hippocampal BDNF mRNA, we studied its expression by a semi-quantitative RT-PCR method after young pregnant rats were exercised on a motor driven treadmill. Pups of exercised mothers had significantly incre...

We examined the role of simple exposure to a diet in the development of preference for that diet in rat pups 21, 28, 38, and 45 days of age. We found: that 21-day-old rat pups exhibited a preference for a diet to which they were simply exposed for 30 min; that 28-, 38-, and 45-day-old pups failed to exhibit simple-exposure induced preference for a diet; and that pups at all ages examined, expos...

We examined the relation between milk availability and milk intake during the period in which rat pups gradually abandon milk as a food source. The amount of milk produced by rat dams does not change from postpartum Day 15 to Day 20, but decreases thereafter and completely disappears around Day 30. In contrast, the amount of milk actually obtained by pups does begin to decline between Days 15 a...

Objective: To study the teratogenic effects of Bisphenol A exposure during maternal pregnancy and lactation on testicular histology developing rat pups.
