abstract
objective: oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. the beneficial effects of antioxidant nutrients, as well as complex plant extracts, on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries are well known. this study was conducted to determine the effects of the hydro-alcoholic root extract of withania coagulans on ca1 hippocampus oxidative damages following global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rat. materials and methods: male wistar rats were randomly divided in five groups: control, sham operated, ischemia/ reperfiusion (ir), and withania coagulans extract (wce) 500 and 1000mg/kg + i/r groups. ischemia was induced by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 min after 30 days of wce administration. three days after, the animals were sacrificed, their brains were fixed for histological analysis (nissl and tunel staining) and some samples were prepared for measurement of malondialdehyde (mda) level and superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat) and glutathione peroxidase (gpx) activity in hippocampus. results: wce showed neuroprotective activity by significant decrease in mda level and increase in the sod, cat and gpx activity in pretreated groups as compared to i/r groups (p<0.001). the number of intact neurons was increased while the number of tunel positive neurons in ca1 hippocampal region in pretreated groups were decreased as compared to i/r group (p<0.001). conclusion: wce showed potent neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress-induced injuries caused by global cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion in rats probably by radical scavenging and antioxidant activities.

full textNeuroprotective Effects of Chrysin Mediated by Estrogenic Receptors Following Cerebral Ischemia and Reperfusion in Male Rats
Introduction: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Neuroprotective strategies were reported to attenuate cognitive deficits after ischemic incidents. Here we studied the neuroprotective potential of chrysin in a rat model of cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) in the presence or absence of Estrogen Receptors (ERs). Methods: Adult male Wistar rats w...
full textNeuroprotective Effects of Exercise on Brain Edema and Neurological Movement Disorders Following the Cerebral Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats
Introduction: Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion causes physiological and biochemical changes in the neuronal cells that will eventually lead to cell damage. Evidence indicates that exercise reduces the ischemia and reperfusion-induced brain damages in animal models of stroke. In the present study, the effect of exercise preconditioning on brain edema and neurological movement disorders followin...

BACKGROUND Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disorder in elderly men. Phytotherapy is frequently used to alleviate the symptoms of this condition. OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the effect of Withania coagulans extract (WCE), which is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, and anti-cancer properties, on testosterone-induced BPH in ra...
full textNeuroprotective effects of NKN on focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
AIM NKN reduces brain edema, neuronal death and neurological deficits in rats after cerebral ischemia. In the present study, we investigated whether NKN was effective on brain injury in cerebral ischemia rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was used to produce experimental cerebral ischemia in adult male Wistar rats. The activity of SOD ...
