Physospermum cornubienseL. alleviates nociceptive and neuropathic pain: Evidences and possible mechanisms.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In Iranian/Persian folkloric medicine, Physospermum cornubiense (Shokaran Baghi in Persian) is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation.

Objective: This modern examination included Swiss mice to investigate the anti-neuropathic and anti-nociceptive effects of Physospermum cornubiense essential oil (PCEO).

Materials And Methods: To determine PCEO 's anti-nociceptive function in formalin-induced paw licking (FML) paradigm, researchers looked at the arginine-nitric oxide and potassium channels pathway in addition to involvements of more specific examples of receptors such as adrenergic, opioid, cannabinoid, peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPA), and transient receptor potential vanilloid.

Effect of exercise intensity and duration on the levels of stress hormones and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in adult male rats: an experimental study.

Purpose: The effect of exercise on stress has been demonstrated in several studies which have shown that exercise intensity and duration have various effects on the reproductive axis. This study evaluated the effect of different intensities and durations of exercise on the hormonal indices of stress, such as corticosterone (CORT), norepinephrine (NEP), and also reproductive performance indices, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone (T).

Methods: In this experimental study, 30 adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups as follows: no-exercise, RME-1 (regular moderate exercise for 1 month), RME-6 (regular moderate exercise for 6 months), RIE-1 (regular intensive exercise for 1 month), and RIE-6 (regular intensive exercise for 6 months).
