[ 1 ] - مداخله نیتریک اکساید در اثر کافئین بر آستانه تشنج ناشی از پنتیلن تترازول در موش

Background: Effect of caffeine on seizure is controversial in animal models of epilepsy. Caffeine is non-selective antagonist of A1 and A2A adenosine receptors. Meanwhile, nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-sGC-cGMP) pathway is partly involved in the central effects of caffeine. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute caffe...

[ 2 ] - Effect of acute caffeine administration on hyperalgesia and allodynia in a rat neuropathic pain model

Introduction: Damage to the central and peripheral nervous system causes neuropathic pain. Caffeine is a plant alkaloid and non-selective antagonist of A1, A2a and A2b adenosine receptors. It is reported that caffeine increases the threshold of pain. In this study, the effect of acute caffeine on behavioral responses of neuropathic pain was investigated. Materials and Methods: The present study...
