1. The screening for potential anti-malaria properties by bioassay guided fractionations. The biological properties were carried out using the plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay (pLDH) (Makler, 1993). 2. The harmful effect of the extract was determined by the MTT assay (Mossman, 1983). 3. The extracts were tested for its efficacy in animal model using rodent malaria parasite, P. berghei usi...

INTRODUCTION Malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke has a disproportionately high mortality due to the rapid development of refractory space-occupying cerebral edema. Animal models are essential in developing successful anti-edema therapies; however to date poor clinical translation has been associated with the predominately used rodent models. As such, large animal gyrencephalic models ...

background: in this paper, paleoparasitological findings from rodent excrements ob-tained from chehrabad salt mine archeological site located in northwest of iran are demonstrated and discussed. methods : chehrabad salt mine archeological site located in northwest of iran, dated to the achaemenid (mid 1st mill. bce) and to sassanid (3rd cent. - 7th cent. ce) period, is a unique study area to in...

Goniothalamin was evaluated for its anti-malaria activity in-vivo, using the 4-Day Suppressive Test (Peters & Robinson, 1975). The test were carried out against two strains of rodent malaria parasites, the sensitive strain P. berghei ANKA (MRA 311) strain and the resistant strain P. yoelii (MRA 312). An Initial screening was carried out using a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight administered s...

Diverse studies suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) induce antinociception through inhibition of cyclooxygenases. In this study was evaluated the effect of NSAIDs to induce antinociception either alone or in combination in the formalin orofacial test of rodent. Male mice were injected intraperitoneally with dexibuprofen, dexktoprofen, diclofenac meloxicam, metamizol, and...

background: rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. these ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals. the aim of this study was to assess the distribution and infestation load of ectoparasites on rodents in meshkin-shahr district, northwestern iran . method: rodents were captured using baited live traps in...
