چکیده

As an acute effect, both ethanol and methanol prolong P-R, Q-T and ST intervals in rat electrocardiogram. The R wave amplitude showed a marked increase with methanol. Other ECG abnormalities like S-T segment changes, appearance of Iso-electric S-T segment, inverted 'T' wave, ventricular ectopic and wandering pace maker were more common in methanol treated animals.

Effects of ethanol and methanol on spontaneous electromyographic signals and neuromuscular latency.

The effect of alcohols (ethanol and methanol) on rat electromyogram (E.M.G.) and neuromuscular latency were studied in thiopentone anesthetized albino rats. Both alcohols were given intraperitoneally (100 mg/100 g of body weight) to the respective groups and the controls received saline. Electromyographic signals were recorded from gastrocnemius muscle. For latency studies both the alcohols wer...

Acute effect of aspartame-induced oxidative stress in Wistar albino rat brain

The present study was carried out to investigate the acute effect of aspartame on oxidative stress in the Wistar albino rat brain. We sought to investigate whether acute administration of aspartame (75 mg/kg) could release methanol and induce oxidative stress in the rat brain 24 hours after administration. To mimic human methanol metabolism, methotrexate treated rats were used to study aspartam...

Effects of Moderate Alcohol Dose on Albino Rats Visual Cortex

The present study aimed to evaluate the possible effects of ethanol consumption on the photic response of the albino rats’ visual system. Changes in Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) amplitudes and latencies were measured after 1.75 g/kg dose of ethanol via oral rout administration. After ethanol consumption, rats showed increases in inter-hemispheric transmission times and as well as flash-lags. T...
