objective(s) current study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of teucrium chamaedrys in mice and rats. materials and methods for evaluating of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, we used the carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw oedema, acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and formalin pain tests. results the extract of t. c...

Microinjection of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists into the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) attenuates mu-opioid receptor mediated antinociception and stress-induced analgesia, yet is also reported to have an analgesic effect. To determine how KOR agonists produce both antinociceptive and antianalgesic actions within the RVM, the KOR agonist U69593 was microinjected directly into the RVM...

Two highly selective mu-opioid receptor agonists, endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2, have been identified and postulated to be endogenous mu-opioid receptor ligands. We determined the antinociceptive effects of these two ligands at the supraspinal level in mice with the tail-flick and hot-plate responses. The i.c.v. injection of endomorphin-1 and -2 inhibited the tail-flick and hot-plate response...

objective(s):parkinson's disease (pd) is known for motor impairments. but often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in pd. to further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) in a rat model of pd induced by ...

BACKGROUND Hybanthus enneaspermus (HE) leaves are being used traditionally to relieve pain, and scientific studies have demonstrated their analgesic potential. This study attempted to elucidate the pharmacological mechanism(s) involved in the analgesic action of ethanol extract of H. enneaspermus leaves (EEHE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two male Wistar rats were separately randomized into s...

Objective(s):Parkinson's disease (PD) is known for motor impairments. But often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. Antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in PD. To further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (EA) in a rat model of PD induced by 6-hyd...
