Journal ArticleDOI
Astaxanthin, a carotenoid with potential in human health and nutrition
TL;DR: In this review, the recent scientific literature is covered on the most significant activities of compound 1, including its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, its effects on cancer, diabetes, the immune system, and ocular health, and other related aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impairment of the spatial learning and memory induced by learned helplessness and chronic mild stress
TL;DR: A better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying interactions of depression and cognitive impairments is provided, although animal models used in this study can mimic only some aspects of depression or cognition of human.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pteropodine and isopteropodine positively modulate the function of rat muscarinic M1 and 5-HT2 receptors expressed in Xenopus oocyte
Tai-Hyun Kang,Kinzo Matsumoto,Michihisa Tohda,Yukihisa Murakami,Hiromitsu Takayama,Mariko Kitajima,Norio Aimi,Hiroshi Watanabe +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that pteropodine and isopteropodines act as positive modulators of muscarinic M(1) and 5-HT(2) receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain 5α-dihydroprogesterone and allopregnanolone synthesis in a mouse model of protracted social isolation
Erbo Dong,Kinzo Matsumoto,Veska Uzunova,Ikuko Sugaya,Hiroki Takahata,Hiroaki Nomura,Hiroshi Watanabe,Erminio Costa,Alessandro Guidotti +8 more
TL;DR: Protracted social isolation in mice may provide a model to investigate whether 5α-DHP by a genomic action, and ALLO by a nongenomic mechanism down-regulate the action of drugs acting as agonist, partial agonists, or positive allosteric modulators of the benzodiazepine recognition sites expressed by GABAA receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antinociceptive effects of Nigella sativa oil and its major component, thymoquinone, in mice.
TL;DR: The results suggest that N. sativa oil and thymoquinone produce antinociceptive effects through indirect activation of the supraspinal mu(1)- and kappa-opioid receptor subtypes.
