SharifiProblem statement: Effect of chronic exposure to ethanol on NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor distribution in chick embryo brain chronic ethanol intake leads to the development of dependence on and tolerance to ethanol in both human and animals. The glutamate system plays a major role in mediating ethanol effects on brain and behavior. The aim of the present study … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,306 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Intrahippocampal γ Aminobutyrate B Receptor on Pain Sensitivity during Estrous CycleMahnaz Taherianfard, Rohollah GhorbaniProblem statement: There is a relationship between sexual hormones and pain sensitivity and also a role for hippocampal GABAB receptor in nociception. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of intrahippocampal injection of GABAB receptor agonist (baclofen) and GABAB receptor antagonist (CGP35348) on pain sensitivity during the estrous cycle. Approach: Forty eight adult female rats … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2011 · 7,345 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Niacin on Hyperleptinemia and Ob Gene mRNA Over-Expression in Adipose Tissue of Dexamethasone Treated RatsTahoora Shomali, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mehdi Fazeli, Niloofar SafaeiProblem statement: Glucocorticoid-induced ob gene over-expression and resulted hyperleptinemia may lead to adverse consequences especially on cardiovascular system; therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of niacin on hyperleptinemia and ob gene over-expression due to dexamethasone administration in rats. Approach: Twenty four adult male rats divided randomly into four equal groups: 1- normal saline (control), 2- dexamathasone … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 7,993 accessesView PDF Cite
