Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRat Model for Poly-AutoimmunityMaria StaykovaAround 30% of the male PVG rats have very low testosterone levels. Upon immunisation with myelin basic protein in complete Freund’s adjuvant they develop experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and adjuvant arthritis. The androgen insensitive syndrome in these rats could be used in studies on poly-autoimmunity as well as in studies on variations in the sexual differentiation of brain and behavior. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Sep 2012 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCan Soy Change Serum Estradiol Concentration in Neonate Ovariectomized Rat?Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mina Tadjali, Mohammad Ebrahim AstanehProblem statement: Phytoestrogens are plant derived compound found in a wide variety of foods, most notably soy. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of soy isoflavones on circulating 17-β estradiol in neonate ovariectomized rat. Approach: Thirty, one day olds rats were used. Blood sample were collected after two months. 17-β estradiol was assayed by radioimmuno assay … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2012 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleErythropoietin-Like Effects of Dihydroartemisinin in Wistar Albino RatsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Nedosa Kenechi Stanislaus, Onyedibe Ikenna KennethArtemisinin drugs were active during the intra-erythrocytic stage of malaria parasite infection. The activity of artemisinin and synthetic endoperoxides was related to their interaction with heme. The electrophillic intermediate formed from artemisinin in the presence of heme alkylates the protein portion of hemoglobin preferentially to the heme portion. Problem statement: Since there might be an interaction between artemisinin and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEndothelial Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance as Pathophysiologic Mechanisms in a Rat Model of PreeclampsiaAyman Z. Elsamanoudy, Amr M. AbbasProblem statement: To assess the plasma concentrations and placental gene expression of soluble fms like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), visfatin and Tumour Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) in a rat model of preeclampsia, induced by chronic Reduction of Uterine Perfusion Pressure (RUPP) and to investigate the involvement of Insulin Resistance (IR) in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Intracerebroventricular Administration of W-7, A Calmodulin Inhibitor, Attenuate the Development of Morphine Tolerance in RatsGholamreza Sepehri, Vahid Sheibani, Afrooz Azarang et al.Problem statement: The present study was performed to determine the effect of Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of W-7, a specific calmodulin inhibitor, on the analgesic effect and development of tolerance to antinociceptive effect of acute and chronic morphine administration respectively. Approach: This study was carried out on male wistar rats, weighing 200-250 g. For acute experimental protocol, Morphine was injected intraperitonealy … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHypolipidemic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Model in Female RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Hyperlipidemia is well known to play a main role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is characterized by abnormally elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood. It has been recognized for many years that hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infraction, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 45,646 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: Epididymal sperm were collected from Wistar rats and extended in lactate-containing or lactate-free raffinose-modified Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate solution (mKRB)-egg yolk medium supplemented with 0, 1, 2, or 3 mM 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2 DG) and 1, 2, or … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpairment of Retrograde Neuronal Transport in Cardiac Vagal Motoneurons in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: A Wheat Ger Agglutinin-Horseradish Peroxidase Neurohistochemical studyA. Odekunle, C.M. PhillipsCentral projections of vagal motoneurons to the heart were studied in diabetic rats using Wheat germ Agglutinin-Horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Experimental rats were rendered diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in citrate buffer. The diabetic rats were maintained in a stable diabetic state by daily injection of insulin for 24 weeks. Age-matched control rats were injected intraperitoneally with citrate buffer not … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn vitro Activation of Human and Rat Lymphocyte and Macrophage Functions by NorepinephrineRicardo Gomez-Flores, Diana Caballero-Hernandez, Richard J. Weber et al.Norepinephrine (NE) has been associated not only with increasing blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and other life threatening conditions, but also with altering immune responses by influencing leukocyte functions. In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro effects of NE on rat thymic lymphocyte and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (HPBMC) functions. We observed that NE marginally, but significantly … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
