[ 1 ] - Vitamin C potentiate sedative effect of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on anxiety and nociception in the postpartum depression model
Objective(s): Our previous studies have shown that MgO nanoparticles (MgO NPs) could improve anxiety and reduce pain in animals. In this study, the effect of co administration MgO NPs and vitamin C on anxiety like behavior and nociception in postpartum depression (PPD) model were investigated.Materials and Methods: Female mice (27 ± 3 g) were divided into groups: two control groups, PPD groups...
[ 2 ] - Magnesium oxide nanoparticles reduce anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal in adult male mice
Introduction: Our previous study has showed that chronic administration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NP) can reduce anxiety in adult male rat. In this study the effects of MgO NP on anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal were investigated in adult male mice. Methods: Adult male NMRI mice (weighing 27 ± 3 g) divided into groups: control, receiving intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection...
[ 3 ] - Evaluation of the relationship between serum levels of insulin, cortisol and growth hormones and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats
Introduction: Several factors such as diseases, medications and humoral agents can delay or speed up wound healing process. Because of the limited information about the hormonal changes during wound healing, in this study the relationship between serum levels of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats was evaluated. Methods: Male Wistar rats )weigh...
[ 4 ] - Effect of chronic administration of zinc supplements (ZnO and nano ZnO) with and without aerobic exercise on nociception in male rats
Introduction: The use of zinc supplements can decrease somatic and visceral pains. Exercise also increases the pain tolerance. In recent years, production and use of nano metal particles such as nano ZnO for pharmaceutical, hygienic and industrial purposes is rapidly increasing, while studies about its effects on human health are limited. The aim of the present study was to compare the effec...
[ 5 ] - اثر تجویز مزمن اکسید روی و نانو اکسید روی بر رفتارهای اضطرابی موش صحرایی در حضور و غیاب فعالیت ورزشی هوازی
به تازگی نشان داده شده است که تجویز حاد نانو اکسید روی، اثر اضطراب‌زدایی قوی‌تری نسبت به اکسید روی معمولی دارد. فعالیت ورزشی نیز می‌تواند سبب کاهش سطح اضطراب در ورزشکاران گردد. این مطالعه جهت روشن شدن اثر تجویز مزمن اکسید و نانو اکسید روی به تنهایی و در کنار فعالیت ورزشی هوازی بر رفتارهای اضطرابی می‌باشد. موش‌های صحرایی نر بالغ (gr10±185) در گروه‌های: کنترل، فعالیت ورزشی (6 هفته‌ای) ، د...
[ 6 ] - The modulating effect of glucocorticoids and opioid system on anxiety related behavior in young and adult rats
One of the main components of the stress system is hypothalamus- pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Acute activation of µ-opioid receptors increases the activity of the HPA axis, leading to release of ACTH and corticosterone. Glucocorticoids can change behaviors, depend on age but there were no evidences about the interaction between age, opioid system and glucocorticoids. In this experiment, ...
[ 7 ] - Time dependent difference effects of MgO and ZnO nanoparticles on the serum and hippocampus Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+/3+ and Ca2+ levels in the stressed rats
Objective(s): Stress is a physiological response that can disrupt body elements homeostasis and lead to neurophysiological abnormality. This study has been investigated the serum and hippocampus Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+/3+ and Ca2+ level changes in two times after MgO NPs and ZnO NPs single injection following restraint stress in the male rat. Methods: Animals were divided into two main groups that eac...
[ 8 ] - Involvement of Dorsal Hippocampal Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors of CA1 Area on Anxiety Induced by Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Adult Male Rats
Introduction: Recent findings revealed the biological effects of iron oxide nanoparticles on the central nervous system. Moreover, the brain cholinergic system plays a role in the modulation of anxiety behaviors. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the role of dorsal hippocampal muscarinic cholinergic receptors of the CA1 area on anxiety induced by iron oxide nanoparticles in adult male rat...
[ 9 ] - Effects of anxiolytic doses of ZnO nanoparticle on ECG parameters in restraint and non-restraint ovariectomized female rats
Objective(s): Based on our previous studies about nano-ZnO effects on physiological behaviors, in this study we have investigated the effects of anxiolytic doses of nano-ZnO on electrocardiogram (ECG) sings changes in the restraint and non-restraint ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. Methods: Animals (160-180 g) were divided into: control (non-OVX + saline) and OVX groups that received: s...
