ABSTRACT – Naltrexone is a non - selective opioid antagonist, which shows effects on delta, mu and kappa rece ptors. Its therapeutic use is designed for drug addicts’ treatment, reducing withdrawal side effects. However, several researchers have used low - dose Naltrexone (LDN) for therapeutic purposes in diseases associated to immune system deficiency and inflammat ory and tumor processes. Consequently , enhan...
Neurodegenerative diseases are a progressive neurological disorders class with signs and symptoms caused by Central Nervous System (CNS) deterioration cells. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is pathology without accurate knowledge of its etiology and beta - amyloid peptide (Aβ) presence in CNS is the main structural feature. Memory and learning cognitive loss are associated with AD and appear as disease first signs. Th...
Carbohydrates are the main source of body energy and they can be stored in the organism in form of glycogen and degraded when there is a need for energy. However, McArdle Syndrome patients exhibit problems to degrade glycogen due to a deficiency in myophosphorylase enzyme, making these patients intolerant to high intensity exercises because a lack of ATP available in muscle cells. It has been found muscular wea...
This work investigated the association of acute ethanol and aminophylline administration on behavioral models of depression and prefrontal monoamine levels (i.e. norepinephrine and dopamine) in mice. The animals received a single dose of ethanol (2 g/kg) or aminophylline (5 or 10 mg/kg) alone or in association. Thirty minutes after the last drug administration, the animals were assessed in behavioral models by ...
Ketamine is an anesthetic agent developed in 1965 by Park & Davis laboratories to be used as a general anesthetic in humans and animals. However, its use became popular among young people and it's frequently available at parties to produce hallucination. In laboratorial researches, this drug has been used as a model of schizophrenia in animals. This work intend to realize a review article about ketamine as an a...
