results in the current study, no statistically significant differences were found between the study groups in demographic variables (p > 0.05). analysis of covariance revealed significant differences between the study groups in all the 3 variables in posttest compared to the pretest. the mean scores of depression, anxiety, and stress in the micbt group were significantly lower than the control ...

introduction: in this study, we investigated the role of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (vh) and their possible interactions with gabaa system on anxiety-like behaviors. methods: we used an elevated-plus maze test (epm) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male wistar rats. results: the results showed that intra-vh infusions of different d...

Theories of anxiety disorders and phobias have ascribed a critical role to avoidance behavior in explaining the persistence of fear and anxiety, but knowledge about the role of avoidance behavior in the maintenance of anxiety in social anxiety disorder relative to specific phobia is lacking. This study examined the extent to which avoidance behavior moderates the relationship between general an...

oxidative stress (os), which has been implicated in pathogenesis of many acute and chronic diseases, plays an important role in diverse neurological disorders including depression and anxiety. os is caused by a large amount of reactive oxygen species or impaired enzymatic or non-enzymatic defense against it. os has been suggested to contribute to etiology of mentioned disorders. this review int...

Background: According to the previous studies, stress influences on eating behavior and is associated with unhealthy food selection. Furthermore, the research literature indicates that stress, anxiety, and depression can cause polyphagia and overweight. The purpose of present study is to investigate the relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress scales and dietary behavior in female h...

Recent work has suggested correlation of oxidative stress with anxiety-like behavior. There also is evidence for anxiolytic effects of physical exercise. However, a direct role of oxidative stress in anxiety is not clear and a protective role of physical exercise in oxidative stress-mediated anxiety has never been addressed. In this study, we have utilized rats to test direct involvement of oxi...

introduction: our previous study has showed that chronic administration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo np) can reduce anxiety in adult male rat. in this study the effects of mgo np on anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal were investigated in adult male mice. methods: adult male nmri mice (weighing 27 ± 3 g) divided into groups: control, receiving intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of mgo...
