[ 6 ] - Intra-cerebroventricular Administration of Crocin Attenuates Sleep Deprivation-induced Hyperalgesia in Rats

Introduction: Sleep deprivation can cause hyperalgesia and interfere with analgesic treatments. The aim of the present study was to establish an obligatory sleep-abstinence model and also evaluate the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of crocin on pain perception in Wistar rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 35 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ...

[ 7 ] - The Ameliorative Impact of Centella Asiatica on Working Memory Deficit in STZ-Induced Rat Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with a progressive template leading to neural damage as well as cognitive and memory deficit. The present study designed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of Centella Asiatica (CA) in STZ-induced rat model of memory impairment and neuronal damage. ICV infusion of STZ (3 mg/kg) or saline (as vehicle) were performed on days...
