This study examined the effects of treadmill running (TR) regimens on craniofacial pain- and anxiety-like behaviors, as well as their effects on neural changes in specific brain regions of male mice subjected to repeated social defeat stress (SDS) for 10 days. Behavioral and immunohistochemical experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of TR regimens on SDS-related those behaviors, as well as epigenetic and neural activity markers in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), insular cortex (IC), rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), and cervical spinal dorsal horn (C2). Behavioral responses were quantified using multiple tests, while immunohistochemistry measured histone H3 acetylation, histone deacetylases (HDAC1, HDAC2), and neural activity markers (FosB and phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (pCREB).

: The synthesis of fluoridated apatite consists of several stages, among which the heat treatment has a significant impact on the physical and chemical properties. The present study aims to elucidate the influence of two different sintering methods on fluoride-substituted apatite properties. : For this purpose, a two F-substituted apatites were produced by heat treatment in different ways called "rapid sintering" and "slow sintering".

This research seeks to address the gap in past studies by examining the role of the Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) signaling pathways in hypoxia and the potential effects of alpha-pinene on these factors. Wistar rats were divided into 7 experimental groups (n = 7): 1) control, 2 and 3) groups receiving alpha-pinene 5 and 10 mg/kg (i.p.
