this study intended to assess the efficacy of acute administration of natural honey on cardiac arrhythmias and infarct size when it is used during the normothermic ischemia in isolated rat heart. during 30 min of regional normothermic ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion, the isolated hearts were perfused by a modified drug free krebs-henseleit solution (control) or the solution containi...

Background To attain whether the effects of low and high doses of estrogen progesterone luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in acute and chronic administration were related to oxidant and antioxidant parameters in rat uterine tissue as well as cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) activity. MaterialsAndMethods Acute and chronic administration of estrogen (1 and 5 mg/ kg) progeste...

background: to attain whether the effects of low and high doses of estrogen progesterone luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) in acute and chronic administration were related to oxidant and antioxidant parameters in rat uterine tissue as well as cyclooxygenase-1 (cox-1) activity. materials and methods: acute and chronic administration of estrogen (1 and 5 mg/ kg) prog...

objective: the present study was designed to investigate the putative antidepressant effects of crocin and crocetin, two major active ingredients of crocus sativus l. (saffron) using mice in two different regimens of acute and sub-acute administration. material and methods: in acute treatment, antidepressant-like activities of crocin and crocetin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) were evaluated using...

background cisplatin is an effective antineoplastic drug used extensively in the treatment of malignancies. it induces painful peripheral neuropathy at high doses. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of carbamazepine (cbz) on cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathic pain by using the tail-flick test. materials and methods the study was performed using male wistar rats...

Objective: The plantCassia fistula L. (Caesalpiniaceae) is traditionally used to treat heart diseases, abdominal pain and fever. The present study was aimed to investigate the toxic effects acute and sub-acute administration of ethanol extract of C. fistula fruit (CFE) in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: In acute toxicity, the effects of a single oral dose (1000, 3000 and 5000 mg/kg) of...

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction is one of the major causes of mortality in developing countries such as Iran. One of the most important progresses in acute myocardial infarction is early administration of therombolytic agents such as streptokinase. This study was performed to determine the time interval from patients’ referral to the emergency wards to the introduction of thrombolytic...

The activity of the magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of supraoptic nucleus (SON) is regulated by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Opioids are one of the important compounds that affect these inputs at SON synapses. In this study, whole-cell patch clamp recording of SON neurons was used to investigate the effect of acute and repeated morphine administration on spontaneous inhibitory an...
