[ 1 ] - Metoprolol improves endothelial function in patients with cardiac syndrome X
Endothelial dysfunction which is manifested by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is an increasingly recognized cause of cardiac syndrome X (CSX) and beta blockers are used for the treatment of this syndrome. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of metoprolol, as a beta blocker, on endothelial function in CSX patients. The study included 25 CSX patients (20 female/ 5 ma...

[ 3 ] - اثر کورکومین بر شاخص های هماتولوژی و بیوشیمیایی گلبول های قرمز در موش های صحرایی مصرف کننده اکستازی
سابقه و هدف: استفاده از قرص های اکستازی یا MDMA (3،4- متیلن دی اکسی مت آمفتامین) آسیب های شدیدی بر سیستم های مختلف بدن از جمله سلول های خونی دارد. در این مطالعه اثرات محافظتی کورکومین (عصاره زرد چوبه) بر گلبول های قرمز و شاخص های هماتولوژی و بیوشیمیایی آن در موش های صحرایی مصرف کننده اکستازی مطالعه گردید. مواد و روش ها: در این مطالعه تجربی 40 سر موش صحرایی نر بالغ به 5 گروه زیر تقس...
[ 4 ] - Prenatal stress increased γ2 GABAA receptor subunit gene expression in hippocampus and potentiated pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure in rats
Objective(s): Stress during pregnancy is able to bring extensive effects on neurobehavioral development in offspring. The GABAergic system plays a pivotal role in neuronal excitability, which can be affected by prenatal stress (PS). This study aimed to evaluate impact of the PS on γ2 subunit of gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor gene expression in the hippocamp...
[ 5 ] - Effect of Predatory Stress Before Fertilization on Body Weight and Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizure in Rat Offspring
Background and Objective: Spermatogenesis and oogenesis stress is a primary epigenetic element that can cause lifelong modifications in neural system functions. This study was designed to elucidate whether preconceptional stress during spermatogenesis and oogenesis affects the seizure behaviors and body weight of the offspring later in life. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 1...
