The CB1 cannabinoid receptors involvement in anti-epileptic effect of safranal on penicillin-induced epileptiform activity in rats

Sina Tamaddonfard; Amir Erfanparast; Esmaeal Tamaddonfard; Farhad Soltanalinejad

Volume 15, Issue 1 , January 2024, , Pages 35-41

Abstract
  Neuroprotective effects for natural products are supported by several studies. In this regard, safranal, a constitute of saffron, has the potential to exert beneficial effects in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Here, we ...  Read More

Crocin exerts improving effects on indomethacin-induced small intestinal ulcer by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms

Sadat Ghafarzadeh; Rahim Hobbenaghi; Esmaeal Tamaddonfard; Amir Abbas Farshid; Mehdi Imani

Volume 10, Issue 4 , December 2019, , Pages 277-284

Abstract
  Crocin is a plant-derived carotenoid and bears potent antioxidant property. Ranitidine (a histamine H2 receptor blocker) is used for peptic ulcer treatment. The present study was planned to investigate the effects of crocin and ranitidine on indomethacin-induced ulcer in small intestine of rats. Animals ...  Read More

Effects of intracerebroventricular injection of vitamin B12 on formalin-induced muscle pain in rats: Role of cyclooxygenase pathway and opioid receptors

Esmaeal Tamaddonfard; Sina Tamaddonfard; Siamak Cheraghiyan

Volume 9, Issue 4 , December 2018, , Pages 329-335

Abstract
  Vitamin B12 modulates pain at the local and peripheral levels. This study has investigated the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of vitamin B12 on themuscle pain. We used diclofenac (cyclooxygenase inhibitor) and naloxone (opioid receptors antagonist) to clarify the possible mechanisms. ...  Read More

Role of μ-opioid receptor in parafascicular nucleus of thalamus on morphine-induced antinociception in a rat model of acute trigeminal pain

Esmaeal Tamaddonfard; Amir Erfanparast

Volume 8, Issue 1 , March 2017, , Pages 29-34

Abstract
  The parafascicular nucleus (PFN) of thalamus, as a supraspinal structure, has an important role in processing of nociceptive information. In addition, μ-opioid receptor contributes to supraspinal modulation of nociception. In the present study, the effects of microinjection of naloxone (a non-specific ...  Read More

The effects of vitamin B12 and diclofenac and their combination on cold and mechanical allodynia in a neuropathic pain model in rats

Esmaeal Tamaddonfard1; Farzad Samadi; Karim Egdami

Volume 4, Issue 1 , March 2013, , Pages 19-24

Abstract
  The present study was performed to investigate the effects of long-term intraperitoneal (IP) injection of vitamin B12 and diclofenac in separate and combined treatments on cold and mechanical allodynia in a neuropathic pain model in rats. Neuropathic pain was induced by crush injury in right tibial nerve. ...  Read More
