چکیده

objective(s): pregabalin (pgb) is a new antiepileptic drug that has received fda approval for patient who suffers from central neuropathic pain, partial seizures, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and sleep disorders. this study was undertaken to evaluate the possible adverse effects of pgb on the muscular system of mice. materials and methods: to evaluate the effect of pgb on skeletal muscle, the animals were exposed to a single dose of 1, 2 or 5 g /kg or daily doses of 20, 40 or 80 mg/kg for 21 days, intraperitoneally (ip). twaenty-four hr after the last drug administration, all animals were sacrificed. the level of fast-twitch skeletal muscle troponin i and ck-mm activity were evaluated in blood as an indicator of muscle injury. skeletal muscle pathological findings were also reported as scores ranging from 1 to 3 based on the observed lesion. results: in the acute and sub-acute toxicity assay ip injection of pgb significantly increased the activity and levels of ck-mm and fstni compared to the control group. sub-acute exposure to pgb caused damages that include muscle atrophy, infiltration of inflammatory cells and cell degeneration. conclusion: pgb administration especially in long term care causes muscle atrophy with infiltration of inflammatory cells and cell degeneration. the fstni and ck-mm are reliable markers in pgb-related muscle injury. the exact mechanisms behind the muscular damage are unclear and necessitate further investigations.

The Response of Skeletal Muscle-Expressed Neurotrophins to Acute Resistance Exercise in Male Wistar Rats

Background. BDNF and NT-4/5 have been proposed to be involved in the coordinated adaptations of the neuromuscular system to the elevated level of activity, but an activity-dependent expression of neurotrophins in skeletal muscle is not well established. Objectives. We, therefore, investigated the effect of one session of resistance exercise on mRNA expression of some neurotrophins in Slow and ...

Evaluation of the antidepressant-like effects of acute and sub-acute administration of crocin and crocetin in mice

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the putative antidepressant effects of crocin and crocetin, two major active ingredients of Crocus sativus L. (saffron) using mice in two different regimens of acute and sub-acute administration. Material and Methods: In acute treatment, antidepressant-like activities of crocin and crocetin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) were evaluated using...

Time course of skeletal muscle repair and gene expression following acute hind limb ischemia in mice.

DNA microarrays were used to measure the time course of gene expression during skeletal muscle damage and regeneration in mice following femoral artery ligation (FAL). We found 1,289 known sequences were differentially expressed between the FAL and control groups. Gene expression peaked on day 3, and the functional cluster "inflammation" contained the greatest number of genes. Muscle function w...
