چکیده

objective(s): in this study the effect of crocin, a carotenoid isolated from saffron, on malathion (an organophosphate insecticide) induced depressive- like behavior in subacute exposure was investigated. moreover the molecular mechanism of malathion induced depressive- like behavior and its decreasing effect on the level of brain derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) in rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex were evaluated. materials and methods: male wistar rats were exposed to malathion (50 mg/kg/day, ip) alone or in combination with crocin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg/day, ip), imipramine (20 mg/kg/day, ip) and vitamin e (200 mg/kg, three times a week, ip) respectively for 14 days. the forced swimming test (fst) was performed on days 1st, 7th and 14st. the level of malondealdehyde (mda) and reduced glutathione (gsh) were measured in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats. the protein level of bdnf was evaluated using western blot analysis. results: malathion (50 mg/kg, ip) increased immobility time in the fst, without affecting total locomotor activity in open-field test. malathion increased the malondealdehyde (mda) and decreased the glutathione (gsh), whereas these effects were reversed by crocin and vitamin e. malathion decreased plasma acetylcholinesterase  activity,  however  this effect was not reversed by crocin or vitamin e. malathion reduced the protein level of bdnf in rat hippocampus. imipramine and crocin  prevented the decreasing effect of malathion on bdnf. conclusion: these results showed that crocin attenuates some neurochemical and behavioral effects induced by malathion. this neuroprotective effect of crocin may be in part due to its effect on bdnf.

Involvement of Mice Hippocampus Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor in Diazinon-induced Depressive Behavior in Mice

Background: Diazinon (Dzn), an Organophosphorus (OP) pesticide, is extensively used in agriculture. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition is linked to OP toxicity, and there are major mental health concerns associated with the use of pesticides. The objective of this study was to assess the depressive behavior in an animal model following their exposure to Dzn and the effect on the Brain-Derived Neur...

Effect of Endurance Training on Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Tyrosine Kinase B (Trkb) Level in Hippocampus of Ischemic Induced Male Rats

Introduction: Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have neuroprotective effect through binding with tyrosine kinase B (TrkB). Thus the Aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of eight weeks endurance training on BDNF and TrkB levels in the hippocampus of ischemic induced male rats. Methods: 40 Male wistar rats (12 weeks old and 228.19±21.18g) were divided into four groups, i...

Effect of Lithium on Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Level in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Clinical Trial

Background and Objectives: Previous studies have indicated that lithium may increase the level of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which in turn improves the recovery of patients with stroke. In this controlled trial we evaluated the effect of lithium on BDNF serum level in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: In this randomized controlled...
