[ 1 ] - The Effects of Progesterone on Glial Cell Line-derived Neurotrophic Factor Secretion from C6 Glioma Cells

Objective(s)Progesterone is a steroid hormone whose biology has been greatly studied within the confines of reproductive function. In recent years, the neuroprotective effects of progesterone have attracted growing interest. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), is a neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and p...

[ 2 ] - Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Mediate the Gastroprotective Effect of Neurotensin

Objective(s) Several lines of evidence indicate that neuropeptides exhibit protective properties against gastroduodenal ulcers. Neurotensin, a gut-brain neuropeptide, is implicated in a number of physiological processes in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues including gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the gastroprotective potential of either p...

[ 3 ] - بررسی اثرات فرمالین و سلکوکسیب بر تولید نیتریک اکساید محیطی

سابقه و هدف: گزارشات متناقضی در خصوص نقش نیتریک اکساید در پردازش پیام­های درد و التهاب منتشر شده­اند. مطالعه حاضر به منظور ارزیابی میزان تولید نیتریک اکساید محیطی در پی تجویز غلظت­های مختلف فرمالین ( القاء کننده درد التهابی) و سلکوکسیب (داروی ضد درد و ضد التهاب) طراحی گردید. مواد و روش ها: درد التهابی حاد و مزمن به واسطه تزریق فرمالین 1 درصد، 5/2 درصد و 5 درصد به موش­های صحرایی نر بالغ القاء گر...

[ 4 ] - Effects of psychotropic drugs on nerve growth factor protein levels in the rat brain

Introduction: Psychotropic drugs exert their effects, in part, by increasing neurotrophin levels in the brain. Nerve growth factor (NGF) protein levels after treatment with only a limited number of psychotropics have been determined. The present study was designed in order to evaluate the effects of acute and chronic administration of different psychotropic drugs on NGF protein levels in fiv...
