[ 1 ] - Comparison of Neuroprotective Effects of Melissa officinalis Total Extract and Its Acidic and Non-Acidic Fractions against A β-Induced Toxicity

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that was characterized with deposit of beta amyloid (Aβ) aggregate in senile plaque. Oxidative damage to neurons and loss of cholinergic neurons in forebrain region are observed in this disease. Melissa officinalis is a medicinal plant from Lamiaceae family, used traditionally in the treatment of cognitive disorders. It has cholinomimeti...

[ 3 ] - بررسی اثرات حفاظتی عصاره گیاه بادرنجبویه(Melissa officinalis L.) بر استرس اکسایشی ایجاد شده توسط پپتید بتا آمیلوئید (35 - 25) در سلول‌های PC12

مقدمه: تجمع پپتید بتا آمیلوئید(Aβ) در مغز مشخصه اصلی بیماری آلزایمر (AD) است و باعث استرس اکسایشی و مرگ سلول عصبی می‌شود. گیاه بادرنجبویه به عنوان یک عامل مؤثر در پیشگیری از آسیب‌های اکسایشی شناخته شده است. این گیاه در طب سنتی به عنوان افزایش‌دهنده حافظه و در بیماری‌های ناشی از اختلالات عصبی مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد. هدف: این مطالعه تأثیر عصاره اتانولی گیاه بادرنجبویه بر سمیت سلولی ناشی از پ...

[ 4 ] - Comparison of Memory Impairment and Oxidative Stress Following Single or Repeated Doses Administration of Scopolamine in Rat Hippocampus

Introduction: Scopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, is widely used to induce memory impairment in experimental animals. The present study aims to compare memory impairment and oxidative stress following single and repeated doses administration of scopolamine. Methods: A group of rats received a single shot of scopolamine in different doses (0.5, 1, or 3 mg/kg, IP) 24 hours...

[ 5 ] - Determination and Comparision of Hydroxymethylfurfural in Industrial and Traditional Date Syrup Products

Background: Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a common Maillard reaction product directly formed from dehydration of sugars under acidic conditions during heating and storage in carbohydrate rich foods. The aim of the present study was to detect and quantify the amount of HMF in date syrup by HPLC method. In addition, the amount of HMF in date syrup produced by traditional and industrial methods w...

[ 6 ] - بررسی اثر حفاظتی چند گیاه دارویی از خانواده نعناعیان بر سمیت القا‌شده توسط پپتید بتاآمیلویید در سلول‌های PC12

Background: Excessive accumulation of beta-amyliod peptide (Aβ), the major component of senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD), causes neuronal cell death through induction of oxidative stress. Therefore, antioxidants may be of use in the treatment of AD. The medicinal plants from the Lamiaceae family have been widely used in Iranian traditional medicine. These plants contain compounds with...

[ 7 ] - Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure Reduced Serum Paraoxonase1 (PON1) Activity Which Correlated With Oxidative Stress in Pesticide Factory Workers

Background & Aims of the Study: Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is a potent antioxidant that is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. Also, it is reported that environmental factors can modulate the PON1 activity. In this study, the association between the Organophosphates (OP) exposure and plasma Paraoxonase/Arylesterase (PON1) activity and also OP-induced oxidative stress was investi...
