Background: This study used an experimental posttest-only control group design that involved white rats of the Sprague Dawley strain.
 Methods: The samples were 8-week-old rats, weighing 250–350 grams male sex. was conducted on five groups with a total seven per group.
 Results: mean value osteocytes in 00.00 ± and ALSR it 87.14 44.85. osteoblasts 50.06 5.76 283.63 22.86. showed there...

Previous work from our laboratories has shown that juvenile Fischer 344 (F344) rats are less playful than other strains and also appear to be compromised in dopamine (DA) functioning. To determine whether the dysfunctional play in this strain is associated with deficits in the handling and delivery of vesicular DA, the following experiments assessed the extent to which F344 rats are differentia...

Histocompatible Fischer 344 and Lewis rats have been shown to differ on a wide variety of behavioral, chemical, and molecular measures. This investigation aimed to clarify strain differences in unconditioned motor behavior with respect to the amount and patterns of movements. Twenty female Fischer 344, Lewis, and Sprague-Dawley were tested in the Behavioral Pattern Monitor for 30 min. The locom...

Background: Areca nut (Areca catechu Linn.) is the seed of fruit oriental palm that commonly used among Southeast Asian communities. Chrysanthemum (Dendrathema grandiflora) a flowering plant originating from East Asia and dominantly grows in China. Both these plants have strong antioxidant activities. To investigate m...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of propolis-containing mucoadhesive gel in experimentally induced periodontitis rats. Propolis-containing was prepared by using chitosan with a modified mechanical method. Thirty-five Sprague Dawley rats were used study. Rats divided five groups as negative control, + 50 mg/dl propolis, 100 and healthy control. Experimental placing ligatures on inferi...

The present study investigated the role of the renal nerves in mediating the cardiovascular and renal responses produced by the central administration of the opioid-like peptide orphanin FQ/nociceptin (OFQ/N) in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats. In conscious rats, OFQ/N (10 μg icv) produced a transient bradycardia and hypotension (nadir 20 min). Although renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) ini...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effect of masticatory functional changes on the lateral view morphology of the mandible in adult rats. DESIGN Sixty 21-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. Sixteen received ordinary (hard) food during the whole experimental period (normal group). The remaining 44 received a soft diet during 21 weeks to develop a hypofunct...
