The effect of formalin on the organoleptic parameters, biochemical composition and storage quality of iced and frozen stored giant freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) was investigated. The organoleptic characters such as appearance, textural condition, colour, odour of both formalin added and non-added prawns were evaluated. The quality of non-added prawns was judged good up to first ...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of analgesia caused by a local anesthetic agent (Lidocaine) in morphine dependent and independent rats. METHODS We carried out this experimental study in the Neuroscience Research Center of Kerman Medical University, Iran in 2003. We evaluated 2 groups of morphine dependent and independent rats. Morphine dependency was induced orally, and formalin was used as a n...

Formalin is a hazardous chemical, yet it is the choice of fixative for diagnostic pathology. Dental surgeons routinely use formalin for preservation of oral biopsy specimens. Literature search revealed that during regular biopsy procedures, unintentional injection with formalin has occurred, and such rare seven cases have been reported till date. In addition to the literature review, the presen...

Cumi-cumi merupakan hewan laut yang digemari masyarakat serta memiliki kandungan protein tinggi, namun tinggi mempercepat proses pembusukan, sehingga produsen cumi asin menggunakan formalin sebagai pengawet pada cumi-cumi asin. Penggunaan dapat menyebabkan bahaya bagi kesehatan manusia. Formalin dilarang digunakan pangan berdasarkan Peraturan menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia Nomor 33 Tahun ...

In this study, the antinociceptive effects of the gap junction blocker carbenoxolone and morphine were examined using the formalin test as a model of pain. We found that carbenoxolone was dose-dependently antinociceptive in both the first and second phases of the formalin test. Pretreatment with carbenoxolone increased antinociceptive effect of morphine in the first phase of formalin test. Also...

INTRODUCTION Glabrous skin and hairy skin are innervated by different types of noxious fibers. However, the different nociceptive behaviors induced by formalin, a commonly used model of acute inflammatory pain, have not yet been systematically examined in the glabrous and hairy skin. METHODS In this study, we compared nociceptive behaviors induced by formalin injections (2%, 4%, and 8%) into ...

Protein kinase C (PKC) has been widely reported to participate in somatic pain; however, its role in visceral pain remains largely unclear. Using a colon inflammatory pain model by intracolonic injection of formalin in rats, the present study was to examine the role of PKC in visceral pain and determine which subtypes may be involved. The colon pain behavior induced by formalin injection could ...

Although formalin-induced activity in primary afferent fibers and spinal dorsal horn is well described, the forebrain neural basis underlying each phase of behavior in formalin test has not yet been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the cortical and thalamic neuronal responses and interactions among forebrain areas during different phases after subcutaneous injection of f...
