prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. serotonin (5-ht) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-ht and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...

A survey was carried out to assess the nutritional status of 2-3 year old rural children and some factors affecting it in the rural areas of Kerman. All of the 25-36 month old children (i.e., 1015 children) under coverage of primary health care center were included in the study. About one -third of the children’s mothers (334 mothers) were questioned. The data were collected using questionnaire...

Objective(s): Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common type of convulsive events among children. Its prevalence has been estimated to be 2-5% in children between 3 months and 5 years old. Also, blood and CSF magnesium levels have been demonstrated to be reduced in children with FS. This study investigates the effect of MgSo4 pretreatment on the behaviors caused by hyperthermia (HT) and effect ...

In this study, mechanical properties and apatite formation ability of synthesized fluorapatite-hardystonite (FA-HT) nanocomposite scaffolds were investigated. Hardystonite (HT; 5 and 10 wt.%) as a reinforcement phase was incorporated into the FA scaffold. FA was mixed with HT for 4 h under argon gas at 220 °C. A space holder method was used for fabricating porous FA-HT scaffolds. Sodium chlorid...

growing evidence suggests that serotonin plays an important role in learning and memory and all its receptors might be implicated in this process. the present study aimed at investigating and comparing the possible involvement of 5-ht 3 and 5-ht 4 receptor (r) agonists/antagonists upon consolidation of inhibitory avoidance memory in the pre-limbic (pl) area. bilateral intra-pl microinjections o...

Prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-HT and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...

Let K be a compact set of Rn and t ? 0. In this paper, we discuss the relation between t-dimensional Hewitt-Stromberg premeasure measure denoted by H?t Ht respectively. We prove : if (K) < +? then = Ht(K) +?, there exists subset F such that (F) Ht(F) is close as like to Ht(K).

microdialysis was used to measure the effect of benzodiazepines (bdzs) on basal levels and on stress-induced increases of 5 -hydroxytryptamine (5 -ht), 5 - hydroxyind oleacetic acid (5 -hiaa) , noradrenaline (na), and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (dop ac). the stressors used were a 5 min tail pinch or a 10 min period of restraint. a subcutaneous injection of 5 mg/kg diazepam decreased basal level...

As an alternative to pre-stage hydrothermal treatment (HT) before anaerobic digestion (AD), inter-stage HT (i.e., AD-HT-AD) has been proposed increase biogas production and further reduce the residual organic matter. The goal of this study was evaluate effect at 155 °C on ultimate biodegradability AD extent sewage sludge mixture primary waste activated sludge). evaluated through biochemical met...
