...rats, and to explore the antidepressant-like and anxiolytic-like effects and memory enhancing of the safe dose of this essential oil. In this experiment, salvia officinalis essential oil was administered once by oral gavage to four groups of female Wistar rats (n=6) at three different doses; 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg. During 14 days after dosing, a follow-up was carried out for the mortality, food and water consumption, body weight changing and clinical signs....

...as been considered as an antidepressant, anxiolytic substance and protects neurons from OS. The present study was designed to evaluate the neuroprotection effect of MEL against Al neurotoxicity and OS in male Wistar rats. Rats received an intraperitoneal and/or a single intrahippocampal injection of NaCl, MEL or AlCl3. Before two weeks of intrahippocampal surgery period, MEL (4 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected (Group II and Group IV). Thereafter, control ...

After the last administration, the content of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone (CORT) in serum were detected. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining w...

Plant samples from Mianwalli, Kohat, and Sargodha city were gathered for antioxidant potential determination. Free radical scavenging activity and total antioxidant activity experiments were performed on the samples using the DPPH and Phosphomolybdenum methods. Results shows leaves extract from Mianwali has the highest total antioxidant capacity whi...

The brain antioxidant defense enzymes were also enhanced whereas plasma corticosterone levels were significantly decreased following the administration of a low dose of lemon peel oil. However, rats administered with higher doses of lemon peel oil that act as prooxidants showed depression and anxiety-like effects, and impaired muscular strength. A...

To assess acute toxicity, rats were divided into five groups treated with different doses of MECL (2000, 3000, and 4000 mg/kg) for 14 days. For the evaluation of antidepressant, antioxidant activities and memory performance, rats were randomly d...

This study aimed at investigation of the possible mitigating effects of ginseng and vitamin D against citalopram-induced testicular toxicity and damage in male rats. Thus, 42 adult male rats were randomly, and blindly divided into 7 groups equally: control (G1, received 0.2ml saline/rat/day), citalopram (G2, received 1.8 mg/kg b.wt), gins...
