The Role of Middle Septal Ghrelin Receptors in the Effects of Morphine on Memory Consolidation in Passive Avoidance Learning
Introduction: Evidence indicates that morphine impairs memory process. Ghrelin hormone has been linked to learning and memory processes and modulates reward properties of addictive drugs. In this study we examined the role of middle septal ghrelin receptors in the effects of morphine on memory consolidation in passive avoidance learning. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 91 ma...
متن کاملRole of Central Cannabinoidergic System on Ghrelin-Induced Hypophagia in Layer-Type Neonatal Chicken
Background: Feeding behavior is regulated via a complex network which interacts through diverse signals from central and peripheral tissues. OBJECTIVES: The main purpose of the current study was to determine the role of central cannabinoidergic (CBergic) system on ghrelin-induced hypophagia in 3-h food deprived (FD3) neonatal chicken. METHODS: In experiment 1, chicks were ICV injected with cont...
متن کاملStudy of GH and Ghrelin genes expression during the larvae developmental period in Danio rerio
Zebra fish is an important species in genetics and considering the proximity of its genome to the human genome, investigating the expression of some of the growth and appetite genes during its larvae development is essential. Genes coding growth and appetite (GH and ghrelin) hormones are involved in the synthesis and release of growth hormone, which can be considered to be economic genes in pis...
متن کاملThe Effect of Intra-Medial Septum Co-Injection of Ghrelin and Nicotine on Morphine Induced Memory Impairment
Evidence indicates that medial septum nicotinic receptors regulate cognitive process. Ghrelin is a gut hormone that regulates energy homeostasis. Ghrelin also is produced in brain and known to be involved in cognitive function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of medial septal injection of ghrelin on morphine-induced memory impairment in rats. Also, the possible relationship...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of GPCRs: Ghrelin/ghrelin receptors.
After the discovery in 1996 of the GH secretagogue-receptor type-1a (GHS-R1a) as an orphan G-protein coupled receptor, many research groups attempted to identify the endogenous ligand. Finally, Kojima and colleagues successfully isolated the peptide ligand from rat stomach extracts, determined its structure, and named it ghrelin. The GHS-R1a is now accepted to be the ghrelin receptor. The exist...
