The effects of CDP-choline on newborn rat pups with experimental alcohol fetopathy. A Golgi study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generally accepted features of alcoholic fetopathy are delayed maturation and retarded dendritic development of neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. The present study investigates the effects of a membrane stabilizing agent (CDP-choline) on Purkinje cells of chronically alcohol intoxicated newborn rat pups, employing a Golgi impregnation technique. Both quantitative and qualitative data indicate that CDP-choline modifies the alcohol induced lesion.

Effect of boric acid on oxidative stress in rats with fetal alcohol syndrome
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study concerning the effect of boric acid (BA) administration on fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). In this study, the aim was to investigate prenatal alcohol-induced oxidative stress on the cerebral cortex of newborn rat pups and assess the protective and beneficial effects of BA supplementation on rats with FAS. Pregnant rats were divided into three ...

Introduction: Appropriate thyroid hormone (TH) levels are essential during the critical period of brain development, which is associated with the growth of axons and dendrites and synapse formation. In rats, oral motor circuits begin to reach to their adult pattern around 3 weeks after birth, the period in which alteration from sucking to biting and chewing occurs (weaning time). Trigeminal ...

Abstract Introduction: Omega 3 fatty acid especially in the form of fish oil, has structural and biological role in the body's various systems especially nervous system. Numerous studies have tried to research about it. Auditory is one of the affected systems. Omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. This study aimed to evaluate neural conduction in n-...
متن کاملThe Effects of HCG on the Distribution Pattern of Mature Pregnant Rat Uterine Glycoconjugates during Implantation Period
Introduction: One of the most common reasons of infertility is un-ovulatory period. Hormone therapy is the most common treatments of this type of infertility. Gonadotropins may exert toxic effects on the molecular organization of uterine surface, such as glycoconjugates. Glycoconjugates are the most important components of the uterine and trophoblast surface playing an important role in embryo ...

Objective(s): Pioglitazone (PGZ), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist, has significant neuroprotective effects and has been reported to regulate inflammatory processes.Materials and Methods: We evaluated the effects of PGZ on febrile seizure (FS) in rat pups. Three groups of male rat pups received intraperitoneal (IP) injections of PGZ (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg). Lipo...
