l-Tyrosine administration increases acetylcholinesterase activity in rats
Tyrosinemia is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations on genes that codify enzymes responsible for tyrosine metabolism. Considering that tyrosinemics patients usually present symptoms associated with central nervous system alterations that ranges from slight decreases in intelligence to severe mental retardation, we decided to investigate whether acute and chronic administration of L-tyrosi...
متن کاملAcute administration of fenproporex increased acetylcholinesterase activity in brain of young rats.
Fenproporex is the second most commonly amphetamine-based anorectic consumed worldwide; this drug is rapidly converted into amphetamine, in vivo, and acts by increasing dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft. Considering that fenproporex effects on the central nervous system are still poorly known and that acetylcholinesterase is a regulatory enzyme which is involved in cholinergic synapses and ...
متن کاملCentral administration of Peganum harmala seeds methanolic extract increases fear behavior in rats
Traditionally, Peganum harmala seeds (P.h) have been extensively used in the Asia region. We have previously reported the increase of fear behavior by systemic administration of P.h extract. Here, we evaluated the effect of central administration of the extract on the fear behavior. Method: Methanolic extract of the plant's seeds (37% humidity) was prepared for the investigation. Elevated pl...
متن کاملEffect of Jujube Extract on Acetylcholinesterase Activity and Oxidative Stress in Morphine-treated Male Rats
Background: One of the mechanisms associated with morphine neurotoxicity is oxidative stress. Jujube fruit extract may reduce oxidative stress due to its antioxidant properties. Objective: This study aims to investigate the protective effect of jujube fruit extract on the Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity and oxidative stress in the cortex and serum of morphine-treated male rats. Material...
متن کاملEnhanced locomotor activity in adult rats with neonatal administration of N-omega-nitro-L-arginine.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a neuronal messenger molecule that plays important roles in the development, maintenance, and functional modifications of brain circuits. We investigated whether the NO levels at different postnatal day (P) periods of the brain develop interference with the locomotion in a novel environment during the postpuberal age (P60). First, using the determination of the nitrite accu...
