In this study, we investigated the effects of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on the epileptiform activity induced by penicillin injection. The study used 72 male Wistar albino rats in 9 groups. All groups except the last group which received only exenatide, received intracortical penicillin injection to induce epileptiform activity. Exenatide was intraperitoneally injected in II-IV groups, at doses of 50, 100, 200 μ g/kg, respectively. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and N ω -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) were injected to the V-VIII groups either alone or with exenatide. Electrocorticography was recorded for 3 h. While administration of 200 μ g/kg exenatide reduced the frequency of epileptiform activity, 50 and 100 μ g/kg doses of exenatide were not effective. When the effective dose of exenatide and the SNP were injected together the spike frequency decreased significantly. When the effective dose of exenatide was given with L-NAME spike frequency significantly decreased only between 90 and 110 min. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of latency and amplitude between the experimental groups. Exenatide had an anticonvulsant effect in penicillin-induced acute epilepsy model which is possibly via nitric oxide and include another pathway since its effect was partially blocked by L-NAME and potentiated by SNP.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41887199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the effects of ovarian activity with chronic stress (CS) on behavioural parameters, estrous cycles, and ovarian follicular development in rats. Here, we examined the ovarian microenvironment against exposure to stress and to elucidate the stress-related ovarian molecular mechanisms. Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the control and the CS groups. The estrous cycle phases were detected by vaginal smear. Rats in the CS group were immobilized 1 h/day for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all animals were subjected to behavioral tests in their metestrus phase and sacrificed on the other day (diestrus phase). The ovaries were harvested for histological analysis, blood samples were taken to measure cortisol levels. The immunoreactivities of ovarian IGF-1, AMH and Bcl-2 proteins were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Here, we have studied CS-induced prolonged estrous cycles. We showed a lower number of developing follicles but the higher number of atretic follicles in the CS group’s ovaries. The dominant structure of ovarian histology was large interstitial glands. CS caused decreases in ovarian Bcl-2, IGF-1 and AMH immunoreactivities which have roles in follicular development. Also, anxiety was detected in CS-exposed animals.

The vase life in chrysanthemum is dependent upon floret senescence and leaf yellowing. In view of extending the vase life, the present study elucidates the implication of plant growth regulators viz. benzyl adenine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ) and salicylic acid (SA) on postharvest performance and flower longevity of chrysanthemum stems. The harvested stems were treated with various concentrations viz. BA and SA at 50,100,150 and 200 µM and TDZ at 5,10,15 and 20 µM. Treatments containing 10 µM TDZ and 100 µM BA were most effective in improving the longevity (23.35 and 20.32 days respectively) of cut chrysanthemum stems. However, TDZ outplayed BA followed by SA extends the flower longevity through the maintenance of higher physiological and biochemical characteristics. Cluster analysis inferred that the treatments of 50 and100 µM BA and 5 and10 µM TDZ were found to be efficient in delaying floret senescence (24.01 days) and leaf yellowing (20.54 days) in cut chrysanthemum stems. Postharvest longevity exhibited a positive correlation with antioxidant activities, total soluble sugars and proteins, while it showed a negative correlation with anthocyanin and carotenoid contents.

Assessing the prognosis of such hemorrgage at early stage adds significance to treatment outcome. In this study, for the first time, we used neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio and mean platelet volume (MPV) values as early markers in assessing the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This retrospective study included 50 patients with aneurysmal SAH who were diagnosed, hospitalized, treated, and follow-up with angiography between 2015 and 2016 (Gr. I). Blood count parameters and their clinical status after application (the first-arrival Glasgow coma score [GCS]) and at discharge (Glasgow outcome score [GOS]) were examined. The MPV value and N/L ratio were compared with that of the nonaneurysmatic control group (group 2, n = 50). The N/L ratio of Gr. I (median: 10.80) was significantly higher than that of the control group (median: 2.20) ( P <0.05). The GCS ( median: 10.0) and GOS ( median: 3.0) of Gr. I were significantly lower than those of the control group (median GCS: 15.00, median GOS: 5.00) ( P <0.05). MPV values were not different between the two groups ( P >0.05). In the aneurysm group, the higher the N/L ratio, the lower the GCS and GOS, while the lower the N/L ratio, the higher the GCS and GOS. In patients with aneurysmal SAH, the inflammation level was associated with disease severity, which can be considered as an early treatment and prognostic marker. The initial application of the N/L ratio may be important in assessing the prognosis, and a lower N/L ratio may be used as a simple, effective, and important marker to estimate the better prognosis of patients with aneurysmal SAH.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47949870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five nonconventional feed types (feather meal, hair waste, egg membranes, horn hoof and horn) were selected and replicated in a 10 L plastic biocomposter for 7 weeks and observed for degradation by measuring changes in total organic carbon, temperature, phosphorus, potassium, pH, microbial counts and rate of degradation. Bacteria and fungi were inoculated inside the substrate after isolation and incubation. The effects of physicochemical and microbial counts were assessed. The biodegradability and optimal activity were observed. From the results, physico-parameters measured during the 7 weeks showed significant differences ( P <0.05) between substrates.
