[ 1 ] - Anxiolytic-Like and Sedative Effects of Alcea Aucheri (Boiss.) Alef. Flower Extract in the Laboratory Rat
The present study was conducted to investigate the possible anxiolytic and sedative ofan acute administration and 4-day repeated dosing of an aqueous extract of flowers of Alceaaucheri (Boiss.) Alef. (EFA) in rats subjected to the elevated plus-maze (EPM), open-field, andhorizontal wire tests. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally. Phytochemical screeningconfirmed the presence of phenol...
[ 2 ] - Effects of Sodium Cromoglycate on Iranian Asthmatic Subjects Without Exposure to any Bronchoconstrictor agent
Cromolyn sodium, a mast cell stabilizing agent, provides an immediate protective effect against the exercise-induced bronchoconstriction while being used before the exercise. However, cromolyn is ineffective in reversing asthmatic bronchospasm; it is used as a maintenance therapy and has a prophylactic role in chronic asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change...
