[ 1 ] - Crocin prevents acute angiotensin II-induced hypertension in anesthetized rats

Objective: Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main product of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a well-known role in cardiovascular regulation. Over-production of Ang II is one of the important underlying mechanisms of hypertension. In this study, the effect of crocin on cardiovascular responses in rats with acute hypertension induced by Ang II was evaluated. Materials and methods: Rats were divided...

[ 2 ] - Protective effects of Nigella sativa on synaptic plasticity impairment induced ‎by lipopolysaccharide

In the present study the protective effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa)on synaptic plasticity impairment induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats was investigated. Fifty-eight rats were grouped and treated as follows: 1) control (saline), 2) LPS, 3) LPS-N. sativa,and 4) N. sativa. In a Morris water maze test, the escape latency and traveled path to find t...

اهداف: اثر ضد پرفشار ی (Hypertension) تزریق وریدی کروسین در مطالعه قبلی ما مشاهده شده است. در این مطالعه اثر تزریق داخل صفاقی(ip) کروسین (Crocin) بر پرفشاری ناشی از آنژیوتانسین 2 (Angiotensin II: Ang II) با دوز   ng/kg 50 در موش های صحرایی بررسی شد. مواد و روش‏ها: در مطالعه تجربی حاضر، 30 سر موش صحرایی نر نژاد ویستار به طور تصادفی به 5 گروه:  Control (Cont)، Ang II50، Losartan (Los) + Ang II، ...

[ 4 ] - The effects of captopril on lipopolysaccharide-induced sickness behaviors in rats

Neuro-immune mediators play an important role in the development of sickness behaviors. In the present study, the effect of captopril on sickness behaviors caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was studied in the rats. The animals were randomized into the following groups: control, sham, 10 mg kg-1 captopril - LPS (Capto 10-LPS), 50 mg kg-1 captopril - LPS (Capto 50-LPS), and...

[ 5 ] - Zataria multiflora extract reverses lipopolysaccharide-induced anxiety and depression behaviors in rats

Objective: Stressors have an important role in sickness behaviors. We checked the effect of Zataria multiflora (ZM) extract against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced anxiety and depression behaviors in rats. Material and Methods: Rats were distributed in the following groups (n=10): Control, LPS (1 mg/kg), LPS-ZM50, LPS-ZM100 and LPS-ZM200. LPS was syringed intraperitoneally (ip) 2 hr bef...

[ 6 ] - Improving Effect of Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Tanacetum Parthenium Against Brain Oxidative Damage in Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizure Model In Mice

Aims: Oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of seizure. In this study the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Tanacetum parthenium against brain oxidative damage in pentylenetetrazole-induced (PTZ) seizure model in mice was investigated. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, mice were distributed into 6 groups: 1) Control, 2) PTZ, 3-6) Fraction+PTZ. The animals ...
