Protective Role of Oleuropein against Acute Deltamethrin- Induced Neurotoxicity in Rat Brain

Background: Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, leading to apoptosis. There is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (OE) has anti-apoptotic effect. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-apoptotic effect of OE pretreatment in the neuronal cells of cerebral cortex. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups each containin...

Protective action of dopamine against glutamate neurotoxicity in the retina.

PURPOSE The electrophysiologic study using patch-clamp techniques demonstrated that NMDA-induced currents had properties similar to those recorded in the brain. METHODS Primary cultures obtained from the fetal rat retina (gestation days 16 to 19) were used for the experiment. Immunocytochemical and electrophysiologic studies were done to identify the cultured cells. The neurotoxic effects of ...

Pramipexole protective effect on rotenone induced neurotoxicity in mice

Introduction: Pramipexole is a new dopaminergic drug which has been approved for PD treatment. However, we tried to find new capacity for this drug rather than symptomatic effect. Materials and Methods: A chronic rotenone model with daily oral dose of 30mg/kg was induced in mice. Pramipexole was tried in a new approach where the treatment began in the middle of rotenone course with oral dose 1m...
