[ 1 ] - Effect of Amlodipine in Comparison to Nifedipine on Vascular Perfusion Pressure of Isolated Rat Kidney

Objective(s) This study aimed to investigate and to compare the effects of nifedipine and amlodipine, dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on perfusion pressure of isolated perfused rat kidney. Materials and Methods Following the establishment of renal perfusion with a constant baseline pressure of 85-95 mmHg, the renal vasculature was constricted by phenylephrine (PE) injec...

[ 2 ] - The Effect of Noscapine on Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation on Primary Murine Cortical Neurons in High Glucose Condition

AbstractIn the present work we set out to investigate the neuroprotective effects of noscapine (0.5-2 µM) in presence of D-glucose on primary murine foetal cortical neurons after oxygen–glucose deprivation/24 hrs recovery. Cell viability, nitric oxide production and intracellular calcium ([ca2+]i) levels were evaluated by MTT assay, the modified Griess method and Fura-2 respectively. 25 and 100...

[ 4 ] - بررسی اثر نوسکاپین بر التهاب حاصل از برادی‌کینین و هیستامین در کف پای موش صحرایی

مقدمه: نوسکاپین یک آلکالویید ایزوکینولینی است که از گیاه خشخاش به دست می‌آید. خاصیت ضدسرفه این دارو به خوبی شناخته شده است. مطالعات قبلی نشان داده است که نوسکاپین یک مهارکننده غیررقابتی برادی‌کینین می‌باشد. هدف: با توجه به این که برادی‌کینین و هیستامین از مهم‌ترین واسطه‌های التهابی می‌باشند، اثرات نوسکاپین بر التهاب حاصل از برادی‌کینین و هیستامین در کف پای موش سفید صحرایی نر سالم مورد بررسی قر...
