Effect of Costus speciosus and Wedelia chinensis on Brain<br /> Neurotransmitters and Enzyme Monoamine Oxidase Following Cold Immobilization Stress
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The effect of alcoholic extracts of Costus speciosus rhizomes and Wedelia chinensis leaves were evaluatedon stress induced changes in brain neurotransmitters and enzyme monoamine oxidase levels in albino rats.The extracts were found to possess normalizing activity against cold immobilization stress induced changesin norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT), 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA), and enzyme monoamine oxidase
