Oxytocin neuron activation by acute infusion of Montanoa genus plants in the Wistar rats

In tradition al Mexican medicine, plants from the Montanoa genus, family Asteraceae ( Montanoa tomentosa , Montanoa grandiflora , and Montanoa frutescens ) have been used to induce labor owing to their uterotonic properties like those produced by oxytocin (OXT). However, w hether infusions ...

El secuestro de la voluntad: bases moleculares de los cambios plásticos en la adicción
The hijacking of the will: molecular bases of plastic changes in addiction

Rev. psiquiatr. Urug; 88 (1), 2024
Todas las drogas de abuso tienen en común la activación del sistema cerebral del placer. Los análisis imagenológicos han arrojado resultados de cambios estructurales en el cerebro de adictos a la cocaína e imágenes cerebrales en sujetos adictos muestran una disminución de la producción de dopamin...

Autophagy activation attenuates the neurotoxicity of local anesthetics by decreasing caspase-3 activity in rats

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 70 (6), 2020
Abstract Background and objectives The mechanisms by which local anesthetics cause neurotoxicity are very complicated. Apoptosis and autophagy are highly coordinated mechanisms that maintain cellular homeostasis against stress. Studies have shown that autophagy activation serves as a protective mechanis...

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid attenuates neuronal apoptosis via the TGR5/ SIRT3 pathway after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Neuronal apoptosis plays a critical event in the pathogenesis of early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study investigated the roles of Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in attenuate neuronal apoptosis and underlying mechanisms after SAH. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats wer...

The effect of CA1 administration of orexin-A on hippocampal expression of COX-2 and BDNF in a rat model of orofacial pain

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (9), 2018
ABSTRACT The neuropeptide orexin-A and its receptors are widely distributed in both hippocampal circuitry and pain transmission pathways. Objective: Involvement of the CA1 orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) on the modulation of orofacial pain and pain-induced changes in hippocampal expression of cyclooxygenase-2 ...

Effects of quercetin-supplementation in NADH-diaphorase positive neurons subpopulations in the ileum of rats with experimental diabetes mellitus

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
The effects of quercetin supplementation in NADH-diaphorase positive (NADH-d) neurons of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was carried in this study. Fifteen male rats were divided into three groups: normoglycemic (N), diabetic (D) and diabetic supplemented with quercetin (DQ). Whole mount preparation...

Morphometrical analysis of the effect of nicotine administration on brain's prefrontal region in male rat

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
Nicotine is the most important alkaloid compound in tobacco. One of the major effects of nicotine is stimulation of mesocorticolimbic system. Prefrontal cortex plays a pivotal role in personality and mental state. It is considered the main cause of addiction as it is located in mesocorticolimbic dopamine...

The Neurotoxic Effects of Artemether on the Cytoarchitecture of the Trapezoid Nuclei of Adult Male Wistar Rats (Rattus novegicus)

Int. j. morphol; 24 (4), 2006
In Man, artemether is given at 160mg/kg/bodyweight for three days in the treatment of malarial. This study investigated the effects of corresponding 1.23/mg/kg/bodyweight of artemether for a period of seven days on the trapezoid nuclei and the behavioural functions on day 7 after drug administration in r...

Oxido nítrico en la nocicepción
Nitric oxide and nociception

Rev. mex. anestesiol; 18 (2), 1995
Las investigaciones en el campo del dolor y de la analgesia se están enfocando hacia los eventos celulares y moleculares subyacentes a los mecanismos de dolor crónico. En particular, mucha atención está recibiendo el óxido nítrico (ON), un nuevo tipo de neurotransmisor. El ON es un radical libre ga...
