Dose-response relationship analysis of pregabalin doses and their antinociceptive effects in hot-plate test in mice.
The aim of this study was to determine the analgesic effects of pregabalin (a third-generation antiepileptic drug) using the acute thermal pain model (hot-plate test) in mice. Linear regression analysis was used to evalu...
Acute exposure to caffeine decreases the anticonvulsant action of ethosuximide, but not that of clonazepam, phenobarbital and valproate against pentetrazole-induced seizures in mice.
This study examines the effect of acute administration of caffeine sodiumbenzoate (CAF) on the anticonvulsant action of four conventional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs: clonazepam - CZP, ethosuximide - ETS, phenobarbital - P...
Activities of biotransformation enzymes and flubendazole metabolism in lambs (Ovis aries): effect of gender and flubendazole therapy.
The effect of flubendazole (FLU) therapy on in vitro FLU biotransformation and the activities of selected biotransformation enzymes were investigated in male and female lambs. Four experimental groups were used: control...
Melatonin-induced augmentation of collagen deposition in cultures of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts is blocked by luzindole - a melatonin membrane receptors inhibitor.
Background: Melatonin has been proven to have a regulatory influence on collagen accumulation in different types of wound. It was found to inhibit collagen accumulation in the superficial wound model but increase it in t...
