EGb761 attenuates depressive-like behaviours induced by long-term light deprivation in C57BL/6J mice through inhibition of NF-κB-IL-6 signalling pathway

Central European Journal of Immunology, 2017
Our previous investigation found that Ginkgo extract EGb761 could attenuate the depressive-like behaviours induced by a single injection of lipopolysaccharide in mice.

Gender differences in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021
In this pilot study, we set a goal of developing collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in normal mice of both sexes, and compared the susceptibility, prevalence and the degree of inflammation. To assess the grade of inflammation, CIA was evaluated by a visual

Stimulation of glia reveals modulation of mammalian spinal motor networks by adenosine [PDF]

, 2015
This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund for University of St. Andrews.Despite considerable evidence that glia can release modulators to influence the excitability of neighbouring neurons, the importance of ...

Mechanism of Bisphenol F Affecting Motor System and Motor Activity in Zebrafish

Toxics, 2023
Bisphenol F (BPF; 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenylmethane) is one of the most frequently used compounds in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins. Previous studies have demonstrated that BPF affects locomotor behavior, oxidative stress, and neurodevelopment ...

Neuropeptide S receptor deficiency modulates spontaneous locomotor activity and the acoustic startle response

, 2010
The present study investigated the phenotype of heterozygous and homozygous neuropeptide S receptor (Npsr) deficient C57BL/6 mice in NPS- and cocaine induced hyperactivity, spontaneous and reactive locomotor activity, elevated plus maze, conditioned fear,

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Electro-acupuncture stimulation improves spontaneous locomotor hyperactivity in MPTP intoxicated mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Bradykinesia is one of the major clinical symptoms of Parkinson`s disease (PD) for which treatment is sought. In most mouse models of PD, decreased locomotor activity can be reflected in an open field behavioral test.

Spontaneous Cardiac-Locomotor Coupling in Healthy Individuals During Daily Activities

Proceedings of the 16th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, 2023
During exercise, the locomotor and the cardiovascular system work in synergy to control the blood flow through the body. In particular, the muscle contraction generates rhythmic raising and lowering of intramuscular pressure, which in synergy supports cardiovascular function.

Perinatal nicotine exposure and spontaneous locomotor activity.

, 2018
Cumulative spontaneous locomotor activity was analyzed during the lights-off period (19:00–07:00 h) in male and female mice from the nicotine+saccharin (N + S), saccharin alone (S) and plain drinking water (W) groups.

GDNF‐Enriched Small Extracellular Vesicle‐Loaded ROS‐Scavenging Hydrogel Promotes Neural Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)‐enriched small extracellular vesicle‐loaded reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐scavenging hydrogel integrates sustained neurotrophic delivery with local modulation of oxidative and inflammatory stress after spinal cord injury. The composite hydrogel improves local vesicle retention, protects neural tissue,
