Currently, salinity and heat are two critical threats to crop production food security which being aggravated by the global climatic instability. In this scenario, it is imperative understand plant responses simultaneous exposure different stressors cross-talk between underlying functional mechanisms. Thus, in study, physiological biochemical of tomato plants (
This study aimed to investigate behavioral and neurochemical effects of α -lipoic acid (100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg) alone associated with L-DOPA using an animal model Parkinson's disease induced by stereotaxic injection 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in rat striatum. Motor behavior was assessed monitoring body rotations apomorphine, open field test cylinder test. Oxidative stress accessed determination lipid peroxidation the TBARS method, concentration nitrite evaluation catalase activity. -Lipoic...
This work was designed to study MCT effect in histopathological analysis of hippocampus (HC) and parahippocampal cortex (PHC) oxidative stress (OS) parameters brain areas such as (HC), prefrontal (PFC), striatum (ST). Swiss mice (25–30 g) were administered a single i.p. dose (5, 50, or 100 mg/kg) 4% Tween 80 saline (control group). After 30 minutes, the animals sacrificed by decapitation (HC, PHC, PFC, ST) removed for dissected homogenized measurement OS (lipid peroxidation, nitrite,...
Strategies to minimize the effects of glyphosate (GLY), most used herbicide worldwide, on non-target plants need be developed. In this context, current study was designed evaluate potential nitric oxide (NO), provided as 200 µM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), ameliorate GLY (10 mg kg−1 soil) phytotoxicity in tomato plants. Upon exposure, plant development majorly inhibited shoots and roots, followed by a decrease flowering fruit set; however, co-application NO partially prevented these symptoms,...
Antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are commonly prescribed for the treatment of affective disorders such as anxiety and depression. The purpose this study was to investigate central effects acute administration paroxetine (PXT) combined with lipoic acid (LA) on various behavioral models in mice. Paroxetine (10 20 mg/kg), LA (100 or vehicle administered, intraperitoneally, 30 minutes before tests. results showed that PXT mg/kg) alone combination increased...
