[ 1 ] - Effect of Cannabinoid Receptor Agonist WIN55, 212-2 on the Anxiety Induced by PTSD in Male Rats

Introduction: Posttraumatic stress disorder is a severe anxiety disorder caused by exposure to traumatic events. The aim of this study was to induce PTSD in rats and examine the effect of WIN55-212-2, a cannabinoid receptor agonist, on anxiety. Methods: SPS&S model was used to induce PTSD in 56 male Wistar rats. Rats were restrained for 2 h, immediately followed by forced swimming for 20 mi...

[ 3 ] - Effects of Moderate Treadmill Exercise and Fluoxetine on Spatial Memory and Serum BDNF Levels in an Animal Model of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Background and purpose: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after major trauma that is accompanied by certain signs, including pervasive fear memories, anxiety, abnormality in spatial and cognition memory, and decrease in hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the first-line treatment for PTSD. This study aimed at inv...

[ 4 ] - Effects of forced exercise on object location memory and anxiety behaviour in morphine dependent ovariectomized rats

Introduction: Previous findings from our laboratory indicated that exercise alleviates the deficits in cognitive and anxiety disorders in healthy female rats. But the effect of exercise on cognitive and anxiety disorders induced by chronic morphine in experimental monopose of rats (ovariectomized) not known. Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mild and modorate forced exercise o...

[ 5 ] - Effects of combined chronic progesterone administration and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain model of chronic constriction injury in rats

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain that results from damage to the central and peripheral nerves. According to the previous studies, physical activity or progesterone can be an effective treatment for alleviating sensory neuropathic pain individually. In this way, the combined effect of chronic progesterone and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain m...
