Effects of Mimosa pudica L. leaves extract on anxiety, depression and memory
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Objective: The present study was carried out to investigate the neuropharmacological activities of ethyl acetate extract of Mimosa pudica (EAMP) leaves on anxiety, depression and memory in a mouse model. Materials and Methods: Anti-anxiety potential of EAMP was evaluated by elevated plus maze (EPM), light-dark box (LDB) and social interaction (SI) tests in mice.Anti-depressant potential of EAMP was evaluated by forced swimming (FST), tail suspension (TST), and open field tests (OFT). The behavioral findings were further corroborated with estimation of neurotransmitters and their metabolites from mouse brain homogenate. Effect on learning and memory was evaluated by EPM, passive avoidance (PA) tests. Further, it was confirmed with assessment of acetylcholinesterase and caspase-3 activity in brain homogenate. Results: EAMP showed significant anti-anxiety activity by increasing the time spent in open arm of EPM, light box of LDB. Social interaction time was increased significantly (p

Hypolipidemic Activity of Chloroform Extract of Mimosa pudica Leaves
Mimosa pudica Lin., known as chue Mue, is a stout straggling prostrate shrubby plant, with spinous stipules and globose pinkish flower heads, and grows as weed in almost all parts of the country. It is traditionally used for its various properties and hence in the present study, chloroform extract of Mimosapudica leaves has been screened for its hypolipidemic activity. Hypolipidemic activity is...

متن کاملContractile Characteristics of Mimosa pudica L.
The force-velocity characteristics of the primary pulvinus of Mimosa pudica have been determined using a new polytonic measurement technique. The contractile characteristics were determined from a modified form of Hill's equation (Hill, A. V. 1938. Proc. Roy. Soc. London B126: 136-195) describing the physiological contractile behavior of animal muscle. The values of the resulting Hill's constan...
متن کاملMechanoreceptor Cells on the Tertiary Pulvini of Mimosa pudica L.
Special red cells were found on the adaxial surface of tertiary pulvini of Mimosa pudica and experiments performed to determine the origin and function of these cells. Using anatomical (light, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy) and electrophysiological techniques, we have demonstrated that these red cells are real mechanoreceptor cells. They can generate receptor potential ...
