neun expression alterations in the hippocampus following ecstasy treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusions these results suggest a negative correlation between mdma administration and adult hippocampal neurogenesis. results our results showed that mdma administration caused a decrease in neun expression in the experimental group compared with the control group. objectives due to the effect of neurogenesis on memory and learning, in this study, we investigated the effects of mdma on neun expression (a marker of neurogenesis) in the hippocampus. methods adult male wistar rats (weighing 200 - 250 g) received a single intraperitoneal dose of 10 mg/kg of mdma or were left undisrupted. the expression of neun was assessed using the immunohistochemistry method 7, 14, 28, and 60 days following mdma administration. background the administration of 3-4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) leads to learning and memory impairment.

Introduction: Exposure to 3-4, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) leads to cell death. Herein, we studied the protective effects of ginger on MDMA- induced apoptosis. Methods: 15 Sprague dawley male rats were administrated with 0, 10 mg/kg MDMA, or MDMA along with 100mg/kg ginger, IP for 7 days. Brains were removed to study the caspase 3, 8, and 9 expressions in the hippocampus by RT-PCR. Dat...

To understand the effects of HCN as potential mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy that evoke long-term impaired excitability; the present study was designed to elucidate whether the alterations of HCN expression induced by status epilepticus (SE) is responsible for epileptogenesis. Although HCN1 immunoreactivity was observed in the hippocampus, its immunoreactivities were enhanced at 12 h...

Benzodiazepines (BZs) are safe drugs for treating anxiety, sleep, and seizure disorders, but their use also results in unwanted effects including memory impairment, abuse, and dependence. The present study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanisms that may contribute to the effects of BZs in the hippocampus (HIP), an area involved in drug-related plasticity, by investigating the regulation of im...

3,4- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or "Ecstasy") is a psychoactive and hallucinogenic drug of abuse. MDMA has been shown to produce neurotoxicity both in animals and humans. Recently, the vasodilator drugs such as pentoxifylline is one of the new strategies which have been considered as neuroprotector. In this study effect of pentoxifylline on bcl-2 gene expression changes in hippocampus ...
