Preventive effects of ACTICOA powder, a cocoa polyphenolic extract, on experimentally induced prostate hyperplasia in Wistar-Unilever rats

Plant extracts are useful in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study investigates whether ACTICOA (Barry Callebaut France, Louviers, France) powder (AP), a cocoa polyphenolic …

Preventive antioxidant effects of cocoa polyphenolic extract on free radical production and cognitive performances after heat exposure in Wistar rats.

The preventive effects of ACTICOA powder (AP), a cocoa polyphenolic extract, on free radicals produced by leucocytes in rats after heat exposure (HE) and its protective effects on subsequent cognitive…

Structural and functional recovery elicited by combined putrescine and aminoguanidine treatment after aspirative lesion of the ﬁmbria–fornix and overlying cortex in the adult Rat

Damage to the adult CNS often causes permanent deficits. Based on a lesion model of septohippocampal pathway aspiration in the rat, we attempted to promote neuronal cell survival and post-traumatic re…

Human Opiorphin, a natural antinociceptive modulator of opioid-dependent pathways

Mammalian zinc ectopeptidases play important roles in turning off neural and hormonal peptide signals at the cell surface, notably those processing sensory information. We report here the discovery of…

Reversible inactivation of the dorsal hippocampus by tetrodotoxin or lidocaine : a comparative study on cerebral functional activity and motor coordination in the Rat

Reversible inactivation of the hippocampus by lidocaine or tetrodotoxin is used to investigate implications of this structure in memory processes. Crucial points related to such inactivation are the t…

Ethological comparison of the effects of a bovine αs1-casein tryptic hydrolysate and diazepam on the behaviour of rats in two models of anxiety

A bovine alpha s1-casein tryptic hydrolysate was previously demonstrated to display an anxiolytic-like activity in the conditioned defensive burying and in the elevated plus-maze models when i.p. inje…

A tryptic hydrolysate from bovine milk alphaS1-casein improves sleep in rats subjected to chronic mild stress

The putative effects of a tryptic bovine alphaS1-casein hydrolysate on stress-induced sleep disorders were investigated and their possible link with typical blood stress parameters such as plasma cort…

Radially polarized ring and arc beams of a neodymium laser with an intra-cavity axicon.

Placing a Brewster-angle axicon inside a laser resonator makes it possible to produce a radially-polarized (RP) oscillation pattern distributed on a thin ring or a portion of a ring. Laser-diode end-p…
