Estudo do efeito comportamental e neuroprotetor da Erythrina velutina na isquem...
Rodrigues, Francisca Taciana SousaThe study shows the effects of standardized extract of Erythrina velutina (EPEV) in motor activity, in memory and in the determination of amino acids in mice brain undergoing global cerebral ischemia (ISQ). Animals (swiss mice, males, 30-35 g) were subjected to transient cerebral ischemia by occlusion of both carotid arteries during 30 minutes and treated for 5 days with EPEV 200 or 400 mg/kg and Memantine (MEM...
Behavioral and neurochemical effects of alpha-lipoic acid in the model of Parki...
Araújo, Dayane Pessoa de; Sousa, Caren Nádia Soares De; Araújo, Paulo Victor Pontes; Menezes, Carlos Eduardo de SouzaThis study aimed to investigate behavioral and neurochemical effects of -lipoic acid (100mg/kg or 200mg/kg) alone or associated with L-DOPA using an animal model of Parkinson’s disease induced by stereotaxic injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in rat striatum. Motor behavior was assessed by monitoring body rotations induced by apomorphine, open field test and cylinder test. Oxidative stress was accessed by ...
Monocrotaline : histological damage and oxidant activity in brain areas of mice
Honório Junior, José Eduardo Ribeiro; Vasconcelos, Germana Silva; Rodrigues, Francisca Taciana Sousa; Sena Filho, José Guedes; Barbosa-Filho, José MariaThis work was designed to study MCT effect in histopathological analysis of hippocampus (HC) and parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and in oxidative stress (OS) parameters in brain areas such as hippocampus (HC), prefrontal cortex (PFC), and striatum (ST). Swiss mice (25–30 g) were administered a single i.p. dose of MCT (5, 50, or 100 mg/kg) or 4% Tween 80 in saline (control group). After 30 minutes, the animals were...
