Evidence suggests that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates conditioned fear memories and has effects on cognitive flexibility via the dopaminergic system. This study examines whether modulation of scopolamine-induced memory deficit by anodal tDCS could be mediated The male NMRI mice received scopolamine, 30 min before conditioning, showed impaired contextual retention. Mice...

Source of Compounds. DMBA was supplied by EGA-Chemie, Steinheim, Germany, and l,2,3,4-dibenzanthracene (1,2,3,4DBA) by Nutritional Biochemicals Co., Cleveland, Ohio. The labeled compounds thymidine-3H and uridine-3H were purchased from the Radiochemical Centre, Amersham, En gland. The cocarcinogenic compound Al was prepared by Dr. H. Bresch, Heidelberg, Germany. Mice. Four-week-old inbred male ...

background: embryonic stem (es) cells are pluripotent cells conventionally isolated from early embryos. studies have shown that es cells serve as a practical model for biomedical studies. objective: the aim of the present study was to optimize culture conditions for establishment of es-like colonies from nmri mouse blastocysts as well as 2-cell stage embryos. materials and methods: both expande...

UNLABELLED In the present study, the effects of pregnant NMRI mice restraint stress on the responsibility of their children to the behavioral properties of morphine, sulpiride and dextromethorphan were investigated in the F2 generation. TWENTY FOUR PREGNANT NMRI FEMALE MICE (W 25 g) were divided into the experimental and control groups (n = 12/group). Animals in the experimental group were ke...

Infertility is a relatively common problem among couples, and Gossypol, a yellowish pigment detected in cottonseed, is one cause. Adult NMRI mice (25-35 gr) were used in this study. The animals were kept in standard conditions with a dark and light cycle of 12:12, controlled humidity and temperature, food and water were available adlibitium. Gossypol was dissolved in ethanol and diluted by sunf...
