Minocycline improves memory in a passive avoidance task following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by enhancing hippocampal synaptic plasticity and restoring antioxidant enzyme activity in rats
Introduction: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the impairment of synaptic plasticity following cerebral ischemia which ultimately results in memory dysfunction. Hence, application of antioxidant agents could be beneficial in the management of memory deficit after brain ischemia. Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic with antioxidant effect. The main objective of this work was to asse...
متن کاملNeurotrophic effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Malva neglecta leaf on pyramidal neurons of CA1 hippocampus of male Wistar rat following ischemia /reperfusion
Abstract Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world and has irreversible consequences. Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) through production of oxidants and inflammatory markers causes apoptosis of brain neurons. On the other hand, in various studies, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of the Malva neglecta have been proven. Therefore, in this study, we inv...
متن کاملThe Effect of Enalapril on Brain Edema and Cytokine Production Following Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Mice
Introduction: Cytokines production as one of the inflammatory pathways in CNS is responsible for most brain damages following ischemia. On the other hand, during inflammation and brain ischemia, most of the renin- angiotensin components (RAS) increase locally. While it is established that blockade of RAS especially AT1 receptors has a protective effect on ischemia, the interaction of cytokines ...
متن کاملMethanolic leaf extract of Punica granatum attenuates ischemia-reperfusion brain injury in Wistar rats: Potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms
Objective(s): This study was conducted to evaluate the cerebroprotective effect of methanolic leaf extract of Punica granatum (MePG) in Wistar rats.Materials and Methods: The MePG was initially assessed for in vitro antioxidant activity, and later evaluated on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell line assay. Finally, the MePG was evaluated against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced brain injury in Wistar...
متن کاملProtective effect of α-terpineol against impairment of hippocampal synaptic plasticity and spatial memory following transient cerebral ischemia in rats
Objective(s): Cerebral ischemia is often associated with cognitive impairment. Oxidative stress has a crucial role in the memory deficit following ischemia/reperfusion injury. α-Terpineol is a monoterpenoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of α-terpineol against memory impairment following cerebral ischemia in rats. Materials a...
