The role of stress in the pathogenesis of ovarian cysts is believed to be mediated by the discharge of endogenous cortisol, which inhibits LH release. Endogenous opioid peptides are involved in many responses to stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of epidural administration of Naloxone (NX) on cystic regression and follicle development leading to normal oestrus ...

Background: There is growing evidence indicating that neuronal calcium channels play an important role in the mechanism of Morphine dependence. Objective: To investigate the acute and long-term effects of Verapamil in Morphine dependent mice. Methods: Mice were rendered dependent on Morphine by subcutaneous injection of Morphine over a period of 5 days. The effects of acute and chronic administ...

INTRODUCTION Methadone has been used as a drug to detoxify opioid tolerance. Naloxane precipitated morphine withdrawal behaviours were attenuated by venlafaxine as an antidepressant. On the contrary, after detoxifying the opioids, spontaneous withdrawal syndrome may occur with pain sensitivity. Therefore the present study aimed to examine the effects of chronic methadone (70 mg/kg, in drinking ...

Aims: Previous investigations have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of aqueous-ethanol extract of saffron on formalin induced pain in small male mice. Since there is difference between ethanol and aqueous-ethanol extract of saffron, this study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of ethanol saffron extract on acute and chronic pain in small male mice. Materials & M...

the role of opioid receptor and voltage dependent calcium channels on the kindling induced by the convulsant pentylenetetrazole (ptz) were investigated in the rats. experiment involved 24 rats which were divided into four groups. kindling was established with ptz in subconvulsive dose (37.5 mg/kg i.p.) every 48 h and effects were observed within 20 min using five-point scoring system. all anima...

ultra rapid opioid detoxification (urod) is one of the new methods of detoxification. this method of detoxification involves putting patients under general anesthesia and actively giving them opioid antagonists. the objective of this study was to evaluate effects of anesthesia duration in urod on severity of withdrawal syndrome. sixty addicted patients seeking urod procedure assigned randomly t...
