the effects of some histaminergic agents were evaluated on stress- induced immunosuppression in immunized nale rats. in rat immunized with sheep red blood cells ( srbcs). restraint stress (rs) prevented the booster-induced rise in anti-srbc antibody titre and cell immunity response. intracerebroventicular (i.c>v) injection of histamine (150 µg/rat) induced a similar effect with rs. pretreatment...

introduction: stress has many effects on the development of systems and organs in the fetal period, and these effects appear after birth. since hemopoietic system is susceptible to stress, effects of restraint stress were studied in offspring of pregnant rats. methods: pregnant rats were divided into one control and three stress groups. the control group did not receive any stress during the ge...

objective(s): epilepsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. gestational stress has been shown to be an important factor for affecting seizure susceptibility. the present study was conducted to address whether gestational stress may affect pentylentetrazol (ptz)-induced epileptic behavior in rat offspring in a sex- and age- dependent...

objective: the present study aimed to determine whether castration altered osmotically stimulated vasopressin (vp) release and urinary volume and what is the role of endocrine-stress axis in this process. materials and methods: totally 108 mice were studied in two main groups of castrated (n=78) and control (n=30). each group was extracted by acute cold stress (4◦c for 2h/day), restraint stress...

Objective(s): Based on our previous studies about nano-ZnO effects on physiological behaviors, in this study we have investigated the effects of anxiolytic doses of nano-ZnO on electrocardiogram (ECG) sings changes in the restraint and non-restraint ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. Methods: Animals (160-180 g) were divided into: control (non-OVX + saline) and OVX groups that received: s...

Central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) plays an important role in mediating restraint stress-induced delayed gastric emptying. However, it is unclear how restraint stress modulates gastric motility to delay gastric emptying. Inasmuch as solid gastric emptying is regulated via antropyloric coordination, we hypothesized that restraint stress impairs antropyloric coordination, resulting in d...
