Comparative evaluation of different doses of PPAR-γ agonist alone and in combination with sulfasalazine in experimentally induced inflammatory bowel disease in rats.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2013, Vol 65, Issue 4
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory condition, which affects the gastrointestinal tract and has no curative treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of pioglitazone alone and in combination with sulfasalazine in TNBS (trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid)-induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in rats.

Effects of the histamine H₃ receptor antagonist ABT-239 on cognition and nicotine-induced memory enhancement in mice.
The strong correlation between central histaminergic and cholinergic pathways on cognitive processes has been reported extensively. However, the role of histamine H(3) receptor mechanisms interacting with nicotinic mecha...
Oroxylin A, a classical natural product, shows a novel inhibitory effect on angiogenesis induced by lipopolysaccharide.
Background: There is an obvious relationship among angiogenesis and inflammation. From previous study, we learn that oroxylin A possesses anti-angiogenic activity in vitro and in ovo. It also has an inhibitory effect on...
Peripheral antinociceptive effects of MC4 receptor antagonists in a rat model of neuropathic pain - a biochemical and behavioral study.
Recent studies have suggested that melanocortins contribute to the generation and/or maintenance of pathological pain. Experimental evidence indicates a primary role for melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptors in pathological pai...
Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives as antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive and alpha-adrenolytic agents.
A series of novel arylpiperazines bearing a pyrrolidin-2-one fragment were synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinity for alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors (ARs) as well as their antiarrhythmic and antihypertens...
Effect of repeated co-treatment with imipramine and metyrapone on the behavioral reactivity of the central serotonin, dopamine and alpha(1)-adrenergic systems in rats.
The aim of present study was to examine the effect of repeated co-treatment with imipramine and metyrapone on the development of adaptive changes in the function of central serotonin 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A), dopamine D(2/3...
