[ 1 ] - Effect of maternal fluoxetine exposure on lung, heart and kidney development in rat neonates
Objective(s): Depression during pregnancy negatively affects fetal development. Fluoxetine as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) is used for treatment of gestational depression. This study is trying to determine the effects of fluoxetine on the renal, heart and lung development.Materials and Methods: Fifteen pregnant rats were treated with fluoxetine at 7 mg/kg from days 0 to 21 o...
[ 2 ] - New Aspects of Silibinin Stereoisomers and their 3-O-galloyl Derivatives on Cytotoxicity and Ceramide Metabolism in Hep G2 hepatocarcinoma Cell Line
Ceramide as a second messenger is a key regulator in apoptosis and cytotoxicity. Ceramide-metabolizing enzymes are ideal target in cancer chemo-preventive studies. Neutral sphingomyelinase (NSMase), acid ceramidase (ACDase) and glucosyl ceramide synthase (GCS) are the main enzymes in ceramide metabolism. Silymarin flavonolignans are potent apoptosis inducers and silibinin is the most active com...

[ 4 ] - Sumatriptan ameliorates renal injury induced by cisplatin in mice
Objective(s): Cisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer compound, which is used for the treatment of various cancers. Sumatriptan (Suma) is a selective agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D (5HT1B/1D) receptor, which is prescribed for the management of migraine. It is well-established that Suma has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We have explored the protective effe...
[ 5 ] - The effects of single dose administration of opium on muscular and central fatigue in male rats
Introduction: Exhaustive exercise leads to muscle fatigue and reduces muscle power in response to contractile activity and causes central fatigue. On the other hand, the effects of opioids on skeletal muscles and fatigue phenomenon are not known completely. Thus, the current study aimed to assess the effect of a single dose administration of opium on muscle and central fatigue in male rats. ...
[ 6 ] - Effect of Metformin on Some Cognitive Functions in Old Rats
Introduction: Aging is a complex process and is considered as a risk factor for many diseases such as hypertension, Alzheimer, cancer, depression and anxiety. Recently, it has been shown that metformin, an anti-diabetic drug, has important neurological effects such as preventing memory loss, stroke, anxiety, inflammation and seizures. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigating the effec...
[ 7 ] - Effect of Ischemic Conditioning on Some Motor and Cognitive Factors in the Ovariectomy-Induced Aged Rats
Introduction: During menopause, which is a part of the aging process in women, the level of sex hormones decreases, which causes problems such as memory impairment and cognitive functions. One of the treatment options for these disorders is hormone therapy, which has several side effects. The present study investigated the effect of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) technique on memory improve...
