detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts
in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
Development of alcohol deprivation effect in rats: lack of correlation with saccharin drinking and locomotor activity.
The present study addressed the relationship between the parameters of saccharin drinking behaviour and locomotor activity in an open field environment and long-term alcohol self-administration. In a 22-day initiation phase, male Wistar rats were presented with increasing concentrations of ethanol (2-8%, v/v) in a choice with water. The rats were then given the choice between water and two etha...
متن کاملQuantification of locomotor activity in larval zebrafish: considerations for the design of high-throughput behavioral studies
High-throughput behavioral studies using larval zebrafish often assess locomotor activity to determine the effects of experimental perturbations. However, the results reported by different groups are difficult to compare because there is not a standardized experimental paradigm or measure of locomotor activity. To address this, we investigated the effects that several factors, including the sta...
متن کاملCortical sensory suppression during arousal is due to the activity-dependent depression of thalamocortical synapses.
The thalamus serves as a gate that regulates the flow of sensory inputs to the neocortex, and this gate is controlled by neuromodulators from the brainstem reticular formation that are released during arousal. Here we show in rats that sensory-evoked responses were suppressed in the neocortex by activating the brainstem reticular formation and during natural arousal. Sensory suppression occurre...
متن کاملAfferent-mediated Locomotor Activity
The objective of the present study was to investigate the involvement of afferent feedback in the generation of plantar flexor muscle activity during human walking. Healthy subjects walked on a treadmill with the left leg attached to a portable stretching device. Changes in the soleus (SOL) background EMG were analyzed following slow, small amplitude, dorsiflexion perturbations applied to the a...
