The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is used as an emergent model organism to investigate the behavioral and physiological responses stress. anxiolytic-like effects of taurine in support existence different mechanisms action, which can play a role preventing stress-related disorders (i.e., modulation GABAA, strychnine-sensitive glycine, NMDA receptors, well antioxidant properties). Herein, we whether modulates some biochemical acutely submitted chemical mechanical stressors. We pretreated for 1 h...
The assessment of amphibian responses as bioindicators exposure to chemical pollutants is an important tool for conservation native species. This study aimed investigate the effects chronic aluminum (Al) and zinc (Zn) on survival, body size, morphology (malformations), immune system (leukocyte profile) in P. cuvieri tadpoles. Ecotoxicological analyses were performed utilizing toxicity tests which 210 tadpoles at 25th Gosner developmental stage exposed Al Zn. Individuals maintained glass...
We report the effects of acute and chronic stress on expression selective immune-related genes markers neuronal function in brain zebrafish (Danio rerio). Fish were distributed into three groups: non-stressed control group; (AS) group, submitted to a single stressing episode; unpredictable (UCS) two daily episodes alternating times types stress. The protocols applied for period 14 days. UCS protocol triggered pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β TNF-α, anti-inflammatory IL-10 (negative feedback...
Zebrafish has become an animal model in research and articles have established ideal conditions for their maintenance. However, little is known regarding the influence of gender other cues on zebrafish behavior. Thus, here we analyzed exploratory social behavior different sexes (male female, mixed or segregated) under housing with various types stimuli (visual or/and chemical structural environmental enrichment). Segregated females males were more active than individuals anxious. Fish that...
The harmful effects of heavy metals on organisms have not been fully described. At present, there is a close relationship between neurodegenerative diseases and copper toxicity. In addition, the effect central nervous system followed by high levels free radicals in different body tissues. An increase radical leads to aging-related diseases, resulting appearance senile comorbidities. consumption natural compounds that could help reduce this dangerous was observed. Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus)...
The use of terpenoid compounds in different neural-related conditions is becoming useful for several illnesses. Another possible activity these the reduction nervous impairment. Cannabis sativa plants are known their concentration two important terpenoids, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). CBD THC have central peripheral activities already described usage brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's multiple sclerosis. Aluminum (Al) an neurotoxic compound, physiological action...
