Cold restraint-induced gastric lesions in individual- and group-stressed rats
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1997)
The aim of the present study was to 1) determine the intensity of cold restraint-induced gastric lesions and core body temperature in single-and group-stressed rats, and establish a correlation between them; and 2) determine ...
Humoral and cell-mediated immune responses following lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis in the rat
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1997)
The present study was undertaken to elucidate whether electrolytic lesions of nucleus basalis magnocellularis-NBM (an animal model of Alzheimer's disease-AD) may influence humoral and cellular immune responses in adult ...
Learning and memory in nucleus basalis magnocellularis-lesioned rats after transplantation of fetal frontal cortex
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1997)
The effect of fetal frontal cortex transplantation on behaviour performance was examined in adult male Wistar rats with lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM). Compared to intact and sham-operated controls, ...
Peripheral effects of methionine-enkephalin on inflammatory reactions and behavior in the rat
(Karger, Basel, 2000)
Methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk) induces notable alterations in immune and central nervous system functions. The present study was conducted in order to compare peripheral and central effects of Met-Enk on nonspecific ...
Chronic alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor blockade produces age-dependent changes in rat thymus structure and thymocyte differentiation
(F Hernandez, Murcia, 2005)
In order to examine the influence of chronic alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor (alpha(1)-AR) blockade on the thymus structure and T-cell maturation, peripubertal and adult male rats were treated with urapidil (0.20 mg/kg BW/d; ...
Immune responses in nucleus basalis magnocellularis-lesioned rats exposed to chronic isolation stress
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2000)
The present study was designed to establish the influence of chronic social isolation stress on humoral and cellular immunity in nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM)-lesioned rats. Therefore, ten days after bilateral ...
Changes in thymus size, cellularity and relation between thymocyte subpopulations in young adult rats induced by Somatostatin-14
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2007)
The role of somatostatin on inhibition of both normal and tumor cell cycle, secretion of endocrine and exocrine cells, as well as induction apoptosis is well documented. However, its effect on T cell development and thymic ...
Behavioral and adaptive status in an experimental model of Alzheimer's disease in rats
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1996)
Ten days after bilateral electrolytic lesions of nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) we tested behavioral (spontaneous motor activity, acquisition and performance of two-way active avoidance, fear-response in open field ...
Effect of neural transplantation on depressive behavior in rats with lesioned nucleus basalis magnocellularis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2002)
Recent data of our group have shown that bilateral electrolytic lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) in rats reduced the escape behavior deficit that occurs in the learned helplessness test. The present ...
Cold restraint-induced gastric lesions in individual-and group-stressed rats in an experimental model of Alzheimer's disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 1998)
Ten days after bilateral electrolytic lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) (an experimental model of Alzheimer's disease), adult male Wistar rats were exposed to cold restraint stress in individual and ...
