background: memory impairment is a well-known effect of many benzodiazepine compounds which is mediated through their action on gamma-aminobutyric acid type a (gabaa) receptors. on the other hand, cannabinoids can affect learning and memory process through presynaptic modulation of the release of both excitatory glutamate and inhibitory gaba transmitters in brain regions involved in learning an...

mil-53-cu has been synthesized hydrothermally and has been used for the first time for gas separation. mil-53-cu shows adsorption capacities of 8.1, 0.7 and 0.5 m.mol/g, respectively, for ch4, co2 and h2 at 30 bar and 298 k. the high ch4 adsorption capacity of mil-53-cu maybe attributed to the high pore volume and large number of open metal sites. the high selectivity for ch4 over co2 (11.5) an...

karyotypes of eleven iranian populations of trigonella foenum-graceum were investigated. somatic chromosome numbers of examined populations were determined as 2n = 14. chromosomal parameters were examined as follows: long arm length (tl), short arm, total chromosome length, arm ratio, r-value, form percentage of chromosome, total form percentage of karyotype. chromosomes were mostly metacentric...

conclusions the current study highlights that the high level of resistance to many antibacterial agents and a gradual increase in the degree of per, oxa-10, shv and tem esbls among the majority of imipenem resistant p. aeruginosa isolated from patients with burn infection is an enormous threat in burn centers in iran. results the results showed that the majority of isolates (88%) were multi-dru...

objective(s):to investigate the effects of local mild hypothermia on the expression of fas, fasl and mmp-3 after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. materials and methods:male wistar rats were divided into sham-operated group (sham), normothermia group (nt), and hypothermia group (ht). mcao/r model was established by longa’s method, and reperfusion was allowed after 2 hr occlusion. mild hypo...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

introduction: 3-4, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) causes apoptosis in nervous system and several studies suggest that oxidative stress contributes to mdma-induced neurotoxicity. the aim of this study is to examine the effects of n-acetyl-l-cystein (nac) as an antioxidant on mdma-induced apoptosis. methods: 21 sprague dawley male rats (200-250mg) were treated with mdma (2×0,5mg/kg) or mdma...
