acute and chronic tramadol administration impair spatial memory in rat

چکیده
tramadol hydrochloride, a synthetic opioid, acts via a multiple mechanism of action. tramadol can potentially change the behavioral phenomena. the present study evaluates the effect of tramadol after single or multiple dose/s on the spatial memory of rat using object recognition task (ort). tramadol, 20 mg/kg, was injected intraperitoneally (i.p) as a single dose or once a day for 21 successive days considered as acute or chronic treatment respectively. after treatment, animals underwent two trials in the ort. in the first trial (t1), animals encountered with two identical objects for exploration in a five-minute period. after 1 h, in the t2 trial, the animals were exposed to a familiar and a nonfamiliar object. the exploration times and frequency of the exploration for any objects were recorded. the results showed that tramadol decreased the exploration times for the nonfamiliar object in the t2 trial when administered either as a single dose ( p< 0.001) or as the multiple dose ( p< 0.05) compared to the respective control groups. both acute and chronic tramadol administration eliminated the different frequency of exploration between the familiar and nonfamiliar objects. our findings revealed that tramadol impaired memory when administered acutely or chronically. single dose administration of tramadol showed more destructive effect than multiple doses of tramadol on the memory. the observed data can be explained by the inhibitory effects of tramadol on the wide range of neurotransmitters and receptors including muscarinic, n-methyl d-aspartate, ampa as well as some second messenger like camp and cgmp or its stimulatory effect on the opioid, gama amino butyric acid, dopamine or serotonin in the brain.

The effect of acute and chronic administration of naloxone on spatial memory in male cholestatic rats
Background and Objective: A great body of evidences suggested a marked elevation of endogenous opioid levels in plasma of animals with acute cholestasis. Endogenous opioids are implicated in the pathophysiology of cholestasis. Also, many studies have shown that endogenous opioids modulate memory processes. To clarify possible role of endogenous opioid receptors in information processing in acut...

Background and Objective: It is well known that stress and glucocorticoid, modulate memory processing, though the result is completely dependent on the time of stress induction. This study investigated the effect of acute corticosterone administration on memory retrieval of recent and remote memory in a 4 trials/day (low- intensity learning) or 8 trials/ day (high- intensity learning) Morris wa...

Introduction: Patients with epilepsy can have impaired cognitive abilities. Many factors contribute to this impairment, including the adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs like Gabapentin (GBP). Apart from anti-epilectic action, Gabapentin is used to relieve ethanol withdrawal syndrome. Because both GBP and ethanol act on GABA ergic system, the purpose of this study was to evaluate their effe...

Introduction: In the recent years, the use of several drugs such as cocaine and morphine has reduced, but the use of "club drugs" has increased in many countries. 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) which has known as ‘ecstasy’ among people has many harmful effects on serotonergic system in the brain. This system is responsible for learning and memory. In this study, we tested sub-acute a...
