Changes in extracellular brain ascorbate in rat striatum in response to administration of non-volatile anaesthetic agents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used constant potential in vivo voltammetry to measure changes in striatal ascorbate in the rat in response to i.p. administration of several non-volatile anaesthetics. Propofol and pentobarbitone, which enhance GABA-mediated neuronal inhibitions, decreased ascorbate current to 27.0 (SEM 7.4) % and 46 (6) % of control, respectively. Chloral hydrate, diazepam alone or with ketamine, and fentanyl-fluanisone with midazolam produced no changes in ascorbate current.

Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Human Umbilical Cord Perivascular Cells Improve Functional Recovery in Brain Ischemic Rat via the Inhibition of Apoptosis
Background: Ischemic stroke, as a health problem caused by the reduced blood supply to the brain, can lead to the neuronal death. The number of reliable therapies for stroke is limited. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit therapeutic achievement. A major limitation of MSC application in cell therapy is the short survival span. MSCs affect target tissues through the secretion of many paracrine...
متن کاملMorphine-Induced Analgesic Tolerance Effect on Gene Expression of the NMDA Receptor Subunit 1 in Rat Striatum and Prefrontal Cortex
Introduction: Morphine is a potent analgesic but its continual use results in analgesic tolerance. Mechanisms of this tolerance remain to be clarified. However, changes in the functions of μ-opioid and N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been proposed in morphine tolerance. We examined changes in gene expression of the NMDA receptor subunit 1 (NR1) at mRNA levels i...

Background and purpose: The adrenergic system is known to have modulatory influence on anxiety-related behaviour both in human and animals. Dorsal hippocampus is an important brain site in modulation of neurotransmittery and neuroendocrinology of anxiety. The present study, was designed to evaluate the interactions between adrenergic and opioidergic systems in dorsal hippocampus on anxiety. Ma...
متن کاملEffect of the essential oil of thyme on intestinal morphology in Rat
Background & Aim: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in clinical medicine. The adverse effects they produce in the gastrointestinal tract however, often limit their utility. Oxidative stress has been shown to occur in the small intestine in response to the oral administration of indomethacin. In view of this, the effect of thyme essential oil, an agent with anti-o...
متن کاملEvaluation of changes in testosterone concentration of the rat central nervous system following progesterone administration
Neurosteroids are steroids that are produced in the central nervous system (CNS). While progesterone and dehydroepiandostendione (the precursors of testosterone) are among the identified neurosteroids, it is not clear that testosterone could be considered as a neurosteroid. The testosterone synthesis has been demonstrated in the brain of castrated frog, but not in the rat brain. In the present ...
