crocin prevents haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia: possible an antioxidant mechanism
Authors
abstract
objective(s):long-term treatment with antipsychotics causes serious side effects such as tardive dyskinesia that characterized by abnormal movements in the orofacial region. oxidative stress in the brain specific area is implicated in the pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia. in this study the protective effect of crocin on haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia was evaluated. materials and methods:haloperidol (1 mg/kg, ip) and crocin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, ip) were administrated to rats for 21 days. behavioral assessments such as orofacial dyskinesia movements, open field test and elevated plus maze (epm) were evaluated every week. malondealdehyde (mda) and glutathione (gsh) levels in the hippocampus, cortex and striatum were also measured. results: haloperidol increased vacuous chewing movements (vcms) and tongue protrusions (tps) in rats and co-administration of crocin (20 and 40 mg/kg) significantly reduced them. furthermore, haloperidol decreased the locomotor and exploratory activities (rearing) in the open field test and decreased the percentage of entries into open arms and the percentage of the time spent on open arms in the epm. pretreatment with crocin (10 mg/kg) modified haloperidol effects on these behavioral parameters. haloperidol induced lipid peroxidation in three brain regions, whereas crocin co-administration reduced the mda and restored the decreased gsh levels. conclusion: our finding suggests that oxidative stress has an important role in the development of tardive dyskinesia. crocin showed protective effect against haloperidol induced tardive dyskinesia and as a potent naturally antioxidant could be a new and useful drug and a possible therapeutic option for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.

introduction : tardive dyskinesia is one of the major side effects of long-term neuroleptic treatment. increased reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress has been proposed as possible etiopathologic mechanisms. ginkgo biloba extract (egb) is a natural antioxidant. we investigated the effects of ginkgo biloba extract on neuroleptic-induced orofacial dyskinesia in rats, a potential animal mod...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ellagic acid on haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia and catalepsy in Wistar male albino rats and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms for these effects. Haloperidol (1 mg/kg, ip) was administered on 21 successive days to induce orofacial dyskinesia in rats. Ellagic acid (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, po) was administered for 21 ...

Objective: Aging is a continuous and intrinsic process of systems deterioration with time. Although the mean prevalence of tardive dyskinesia (TD), a neurological disorder associated with chronic haloperidol administration, is 20-25%, the cumulative rate of this disorder increases significantly in patients aged 55 years or more. The present study investigated the effect of aging on spontaneous ...

Objective: Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main product of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a well-known role in cardiovascular regulation. Over-production of Ang II is one of the important underlying mechanisms of hypertension. In this study, the effect of crocin on cardiovascular responses in rats with acute hypertension induced by Ang II was evaluated. Materials and methods: Rats were divided...
