Modulation of Anxiety-Like Behavior in Sildenafil Citrate-Treated Mice Placed in an Elevated Plus-Maze
Introduction: Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, may have various effects on the central nervous system via the nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway. Preclinical studies have shown the controversial effect of sildenafil on anxiety-like behavior in animals. This study was undertaken to investigate the acute effect of sildenafil on anxiety-like behavior...
متن کاملMemory-Enhancing Activity of Palmatine in Mice Using Elevated Plus Maze and Morris Water Maze
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of palmatine on memory of Swiss young male albino mice. Palmatine (0.1, 0.5, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) and physostigmine (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) per se were administered for 10 successive days to separate groups of mice. Effect of drugs on learning and memory of mice was evaluated using elevated plus maze and Morris water maze. Brain acetylcholinesterase act...
متن کاملElevated Plus Maze for Mice
Although the mouse genome is now completely sequenced, the functions of most of the genes expressed in the brain are not known. The influence of a given gene on a specific behavior can be determined by behavioral analysis of mutant mice. If a target gene is expressed in the brain, behavioral phenotype of the mutant mice could elucidate the genetic mechanism of normal behaviors. The elevated plu...
متن کاملMemory-impairing effects of local anesthetics in an elevated plus-maze test in mice.
Post-training intracerebroventricular administration of procaine (20 micrograms/microliter) and dimethocaine (10 or 20 micrograms/microliter), local anesthetics of the ester class, prolonged the latency (s) in the retention test of male and female 3-month-old Swiss albino mice (25-35 g body weight; N = 140) in the elevated plus-maze (mean +/- SEM for 10 male mice: control = 41.2 +/- 8.1; procai...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Changes in Open-Field and Elevated Plus-Maze Behavior Following Heat Stress in Rats
This paper presents the effect of high environmental heat on behavior of the male Charles Foster rats. Eighty rats were divided into three groups, subjected to (i) acute heat stress (ii) chronic heat stress and (iii) handling control group. Animals were exposed to the hot environment in a biological oxygen demand incubator at 38 ± 1ºC (relative humidity 45-50%) for four hours of continuous sing...
