The effect of intermittent fasting diet on the hippocampus of adult male mouse after inducing demyelination by ethidium bromide injection

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
Intermittent fasting diet (IF) as a restrictive regimen prevents neural degeneration and stimulates overexpression of various neurotropic factors in the hippocampus of animal models. This study evaluates the potential effect of the IF in the prevention of learning and memory dysfunction and improving the...

Propentofylline reduces glial scar development following gliotoxic damage in the rat brainstem

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (9), 2016
ABSTRACT Propentofylline is a xanthine derivative that depresses activation of glial cells, whose responses contribute to neural tissue damage during inflammation. Ethidium bromide injection into the central nervous system induces local oligodendroglial and astrocytic loss, resulting in primary demyelina...
