Regulation of Neuropeptide Y Receptor Gene Expression and Hormone Level in Obese Male Rats Receiving 6-Gingerol and L-Arginine Supplementation.

Obesity and its associated disorders, such as hyperlipidemia, have become a ‎global issue following the consumption of unhealthy, high-fat, and high-‎carbohydrate foods, which burdens the economies and the ‎health systems of human societies worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate ‎the effect of oral consumption of 6-gingerol and L-arginine supplements on obesity factors. Thirty rats in five groups were fed a diet specific to each ‎group for 12 weeks and then treated with the oral administration of L-arginine (200 mg/day) and 6-gingerol (100 mg/day) for 12 weeks.

Comparison of the Performance of Bioresonance, Electrophoresis and RT-PCR in the Diagnosis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) continues to be one of the most researched infectious diseases of cats. The diagnosis of FIP is challenging, and diverse techniques have been developed for its accurate diagnosis. However, they have some limitations.

Protective Effects of Phoenixin-14 Peptide in the Indomethacin-Induced Duodenal Ulcer: An Experimental Study.

Phoenixin-14‎ (PNX‎-14‎) is a newly identified neuropeptide with potential anti-inflammatory effects in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we evaluated the protective effect of PNX-14 against the formation of experimental indomethacin (IND)-induced duodenal ulcer. Thirty-two‎ male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the four following study groups: (1) negative control (2) IND (7.

Modafinil-coated nanoparticle increases expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and neuronal nuclear protein, and protects against middle cerebral artery occlusion-induced neuron apoptosis in the rat hippocampus.

The present study investigates the neuroprotective effects of modafinil-coated nanoparticle in rats' hippocampal CA1 region. Male Wistar rats (n = 48) were randomly divided into four groups. Then middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was performed by inserting a silicone coat filament in the right internal carotid artery via the external carotid artery until it reached the anterior cerebral artery.

Mesenchymal stem cells with modafinil (gold nanoparticles) significantly improves neurological deficits in rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion.

Systemic treatments for ischemic stroke as a disease with high disability and death have been yet unsuccessful. Combined treatments can potentially cause better results in treatment of patients with Stroke. In this study we assessed the neuroprotective effect of modafinil-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in ischemic stroke rats.
