Influence of individual housing in the adult rats on catecholamine synthesis and storage in the right and left medial prefrontal cortex
(Neurochemical Journal, 2014)
Social isolation produce various neurochemical alterations in monoamines pathways of the brain. In order to assess the effect of individual housing of adult rats on neurochemical substrates and lateralization in the right ...
Molecular basis of chronic stress-induced hippocampal lateral asymmetry in rats and impact on learning and memory
(Acta Physiologica Hungarica, 2013)
Neurochemical lateralization has been demonstrated in the rat brain suggesting that such lateralization might contribute to behavior. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine neurochemical asymmetry in the ...
Immunohistochemical Detection and Gene Expression of Tyrosine Hydroxylase and Vesicular Monoamine Transporter Type 2 in Intrinsic Cardiac Ganglia of Socially Isolated Rats
(Archives of biological sciences, 2014)
Social isolation induced a significant increase in resting heart rate and reduction in heart rate variability. Dysfunction of the intrinsic cardiac nervous system is implicated in the genesis of cardiovascular diseases. ...
Glutathione-dependent antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione content in the rat brain at different stages of oestrous cycle
(Physiological Research, 1998)
Enzymatic activities of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione reductase and catalase, as well as the glutathione content were measured in the brain tissue of regularly cycling rats at dioestrus, ...
The effect of subchronic supplementation with folic acid on homocysteine induced seizures
(Acta Physiologica Hungarica, 2015)
Influence of folic acid on the CNS is still unclear. Folate has a neuroprotective effect, while on the other hand excess folate can exacerbate seizures in epileptics. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect ...
The effect of ovarian hormones on antioxidant enzyme activities in the brain of male rats
(Physiological Research, 2003)
The brain is widely responsive to gonadal hormones. The functional significance of ovarian hormones in the brain is evident from biochemical studies indicating that estradiol or progesterone treatment of testectomized rats ...
Effects of estradiol benzoate and progesterone on superoxide dismutase activity in the thymus of rats
(Physiological Research, 2001)
The activity of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and cytosol superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) was measured in corresponding subcellular fractions prepared from the thymi of intact and chronically gonadectomized ...
Different Sensitivity of Various Brain Structures to Thioacetamide-Induced Lipid Peroxidation
(Medicinal Chemistry, 2012)
Thioacetamide (TAA) exerts hepatotoxic, neurotoxic and carcinogenic effects. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of TAA on lipid peroxidation and catalase activity in various rat brain regions. Male Wistar ...
Effects of Acute Stress on Gene Expression of Splenic Catecholamine Biosynthetic Enzymes in Chronically Stressed Rats
(Archives of biological sciences, 2013)
The aim of this study was to examine how acute immobilization stress affects the concentrations of catecholamines in the plasma and the expression of the splenic catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), ...
Spectral analysis of thioacetamide-induced electroencephalographic changes in rats
(Human and Experimental Toxicology, 2013)
Thioacetamide (TAA) is widely used as a model of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of TAA on electroencephalographic (EEG) changes in rats and to compare them with human HE. ...
