In the present study the protective effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) on synaptic plasticity impairment induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats was investigated. Fifty-eight rats were grouped and treated as follows: 1) control (saline), 2) LPS, 3) LPS-N. sativa, and 4) N. sativa. In a Morris water maze test, the escape latency and travelled path to find the platform as well as time spent...

the present study investigated the effects of e. coli lipopolysaccharide (lps) induced mastitis model in rat on the activity of antioxidant enzyme systems. to achieve this purpose, e. coli lps were infused into the mammary gland of 12 rats 72 hr postpartum and compared with 12 rats in control group infused intramammary placebo sterile pyrogene – free, physiological saline. the antioxidant activ...

objective: neuroimmune factors contribute on the pathogenesis of sickness behaviors. nigella sativa (ns) has anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects. in the present study, the effect of ns hydro-alcoholic extract on sickness behavior induced by lipopolysaccharide (lps) was investigated. materials and methods: the rats were divided into five groups (n=10 in each): (1) control...

osteonecrosis (on) is characterized through the impairment of osseous blood flow that leads to the collapse of femur head. corticoid-induced on in rats and lipopolysaccharide (lps)-induced in rabbits are useful models to assess the efficacy of potential treatments on this disease. d-003 inhibits the mevalonate pathway, lipid peroxidation and prevents osteoporosis in rats through increasing the ...

Uptake transporters in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) are involved the penetration of basic (cationic) drugs such as diphenhydramine (DPHM) into brain. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation alters expression levels and activities uptake transporters, which change DPHM A microdialysis study showed that unbound brain-to-plasma partition coefficient ( K p,uu,brain ) for LPS ...

Osteonecrosis (ON) is characterized through the impairment of osseous blood flow that leads to the collapse of femur head. Corticoid-induced ON in rats and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced in rabbits are useful models to assess the efficacy of potential treatments on this disease. D-003 inhibits the mevalonate pathway, lipid peroxidation and prevents osteoporosis in rats through increasing the ...

Objective(s): Recent studies revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play crucial roles in the responses and pathologic processes of spinal cord injury (SCI). This study aimed to investigate the effect and the molecular basis of miR-103 on LPS-induced injuries in PC12 cells in vitro and SCI rats in vivo. Materials and Methods: PC12 cells were exposed to LPS to induce cell injuries to mimic the in ...
