Master Title

Pharmacological study of protein malnutrition on the pharmacological profile of certain antianxiety drugs in experimental animals

Master Abstract

In the present study the effect of protein malnutrition alone and in presence of diazepam (5mg/Kg) as well as, buspirone (5mg/Kg) were studied in rats after 2 hours, 7 days and 14 days on behavioral and biochemical parameters. Protein malnutrition was induced by restricting the amount of casein in the prepared diet to 7.5 % instead of 20 % in normal protein diet. Induction of protein malnutrition started just after weaning. Three models of behavioral examinations were selected to study the possible effects of protein malnutrition on behavioral responses to drug. These models included swimming test, open field test and conditioned avoidance test. In addition, biochemical parameters were measured in the brain namely, GABA, 5HT, NE and DA.

PHD Title

Pharmacological study of the possible interactions between certain antidiabetics and selected antiepileptic drug in experimental animals

PHD Abstract

In the present study, both in vivo and in vitro experiments were carried out in order to study the possible interactions between certain antidiabetics and selected antiepileptic agent in experimental animals. The purpose of the in vitro experiments was to investigate the possible effects of gliclazide (10, 20, 40 µmol/l), aqueous extract of Morus alba leaves ( 10, 20, 40 µg/ml) , aqueous extract of ginseng radix ( 25, 50, 100 µg/ml) and carbamazepine ( 10, 20, 40 µmol/l), alone and in combination on basal ( glucose 3 mmol/l) and glucose 16.7 mmol/l -stimulated insulin secretion using isolated rat pancreatic islets technique. The purpose of the in vivo experiments was to investigate the possible effects of gliclazide (10 mg/kg), carbamazepine (50 mg/kg), aqueous extract of Morus alba leaves (100 mg/kg) and aqueous extract of ginseng radix (100 mg/kg) alone and in combination in streptozotocin ( 50 mg/kg)- induced diabetic rats. The effects of these treatments on serum glucose and insulin levels were investigated after two weeks of daily dose administration. The effects on serum glucose and insulin levels and insulinogenic index during oral glucose tolerance test were also studied after two weeks of daily dose administration. The effects of the aforementioned treatments on liver glycogen content and blood MDA, nitric oxide and GSH were also investigated.
