[ 1 ] - اثر پیوند سلول‌های بنیادی مزانشیمی مغز استخوان بر تعداد سلول‌های عصبی و حافظه در مدل ضایعه هیپوکامپ توسط تری متیلین کلراید
زمینه و هدف : امروزه به دنبال تایید وجود نوروژنز در مغز پستانداران بالغ، استفاده از سلول‌های بنیادی به عنوان یک روش درمانی مناسب برای بهبود بسیاری از بیماری‌های سیستم عصبی مورد توجه پژوهشگران قرار گرفته است. بدین ترتیب که با پیوند سلول‌های بنیادی، بازسازی نورونی در نواحی تخریب شده ایجاد می‌گردد. این مطالعه به منظور تعیین اثر پیوند سلول‌های بنیادی مزانشیمی مغز استخوان بر آسیب‌های وارده به هیپوکا...
[ 2 ] - Opioid Receptors Gene Polymorphism and Heroin Dependence in Iran
Introduction: Genes often have multiple polymorphisms that interact with each other and the environment in different individuals. Variability in the opioid receptors can influence opiate withdrawal and dependence. In humans, A118G Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) on μ-Opioid Receptor (MOR), 36 G>T in κ-Opioid Receptor (KOR), and T921C in the δ-Opioid Receptor (DOR) have been...
[ 3 ] - Impaired Memory and Evidence of Histopathology in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons through Injection of Aβ1-42 Peptides into the Frontal Cortices of Rat
Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, which has much benefited from animal models to find the basics of its pathophysiology. In our previous work (Haghani, Shabani, Javan, Motamedi, & Janahmadi, 2012), a non-transgenic rat model of AD was used in electrophysiological studies. However, we did not investigate the histological aspects in the ...
[ 4 ] - Reduction in ischemic brain injury following the administration of pentoxifylline after transient global ischemia/ reperfusion in a rat model
Background: It is well known that the hippocampus, the CA1 Pyramidal cells in particular, is selectively vulnerable during global cerebral ischemia. Recently, it is observed that pentoxifylline has a neuroprotective effect. This study explored the pharmacological relationship between ischemia-induced cell death of the hippocampus and the efficacy of a vasodilator agent (pentoxifylline) in the...
[ 5 ] - The effect of rosemary extract on spatial memory, learning and antioxidant enzymes activities in the hippocampus of middle-aged rats
Background: The Rosemary extract (RE) possesses various antioxidant, cytoprotective and cognition-improving bioactivities. In this study, we postulated which doses of RE have a more effect on the hippocampus of middle-aged rats. Methods : In this experimental study, thirty-two middle-aged male Wistar rats were fed by different doses (50,100 and 200 mg/kg/day) of RE (containing 40% carnosic ...
[ 6 ] - Effects of adenosine A2a receptor agonist and antagonist on cere-bellar nuclear factor-kBexpression preceded by MDMA toxicity
Background :Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that has a neuromodulatory role in the central nervous system. The amphetamine derivative (±)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy) is a synthetic amphetamine analogue used recreationally to obtain an enhanced affiliated emotional response. MDMA is a potent monoaminergic neurotoxin with the potential of damage to brain neu...
[ 7 ] - Comparative evaluation of NOTCH signaling molecules in the endometrium of women with various gynecological diseases during the window of implantation
Objective(s): NOTCH signaling pathway is well known for its role in cell fate, cell survival, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Some of the NOTCH signaling genes are critical for endometrial function and implantation in animals and appear to play a similar role in humans. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the potential roles of some main components of the NOTCH family in hu...
[ 8 ] - Partial Improvement of Spatial Memory Damages by Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation Following Trimethyltin Chloride Administration in the Rat CA1
Introduction: Trimethyltin Chloride (TMT) is a neurotoxin that can kill neurons in the nervous system and activate astrocytes. This neurotoxin mainly damages the hippocampal neurons. After TMT injection, behavioral changes such as aggression and hyperactivity have been reported in animals along with impaired spatial and learning memory. Hence, TMT is a suitable tool for an experimental model of...
[ 9 ] - Behavioral Changes in Combination Therapy of Ethanol and Modafinil on rats Focal Cerebral Ischemia
Introduction: Ethanol is considered as an effective agent in reducing brain stroke injury. In this study, we assessed the effects of modafinil along with ethanol as a combination therapy on behavioral function in Wistar rats. Methods: The right Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) was performed and the rats were divided into nine groups (n=8 per group). The animal groups in this study were ...
[ 10 ] - P-77: Follicular Fluid Concentrations of Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, TNF-α and Interleukin 10 in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Women
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:504:"While the etiology of PCOS has continued to remain a mystery, there can be found some evidence in support of the presence of chronic low-grade inflammation in women with this syndrome. One of the most significant manifestations of chronic inflammation is Pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the pattern of proinfla...
[ 11 ] - The Effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine on Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus of Male Rats
Introduction: The administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy causes memory impairment, whereas neurogenesis improves memory and learning. Hence, this study evaluated the effects of MDMA on neurogenesis in the hippocampus of male rats. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats received intraperitoneal (IP) injections of MDMA (10 mg/kg). We assessed nestin, sex-determining regio...
[ 12 ] - Comparing the Effects of Rosemary Extract and Treadmill Exercise on the Hippocampal Function and Antioxidant Capacity in Old Rats
Background: A sequence of time-dependent changes can affect the brainchr('39')s functional capacity. Aims: This study aimed at investigating the effects of forced aerobic exercise (FAE) versus the rosemary extract (RE) on the learning abilities and oxidative stress modulation in rats. Methods: Young and old rats received daily FAE and RE for 3 months. Using the passive avoidance (PA) test, we...
[ 13 ] - Cannabidiol Modulating the Expression of Neurotrophin Signaling Pathways in Chronic Exposure to Methamphetamine in Rats During Abstinence Period
Introduction: Several neuropsychiatric disorders, such as addiction, have indicated variations in the levels of neurotrophic factors. As an extremely addictive stimulant, methamphetamine (METH) is associated with rising levels of abuse worldwide. We have recently demonstrated that repeated intracerebroventricular (ICV) of cannabidiol (CBD), the most important non-psychotomimetic compound, can l...
