Exposure of oral cavity to areca nut is associated with several pathological conditions including oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). Histopathologically OSF is characterized by epithelial atrophy, chronic inflammation, juxtaepithelial hyalinization, leading to fibrosis of submucosal tissue and affects
Betel nut is consumed by millions of people for stress reduction and increased capacity to work. One of its components is arecoline which is useful for Alzheimer and schizophrenia; it also influences endocrine and gonadal functions.Objective is to examine Millions of people consume betel nut for increased capacity of work. It contains arecoline which is highly toxic and has several untoward side effects on endocrine functions. In this article, the role of arecoline on thyroid function under metabolic stress was investigated in mice. Water or
OBJECTIVE
To develop a BALB/c mouse model of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) induced by arecoline and to exhibit an accumulation of collagen and angiogenesis changes.
METHODS
BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to either the control (distilled water) or experimental group (arecoline) (n = 40). Eight
Increased plasma adrenalin (A) levels following arecoline in normal subjects and patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) may result from nicotinic adrenal stimulation. Lack of this response in patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF) is consistent with peripheral sympathetic dysfunction. The
Betel nut of Areca catechu is chewed by millions of people for increased capacity to work and stress reduction, but it contains arecoline that causes hypothyroidism. The aim is to investigate the role of arecoline on thyroid activity in cold stress in mice. Arecoline treatment (10 mg/kg body wt/day,
Arecoline is a plant alkaloid of betel nut Areca catechu. Arecoline has immunosuppressive, hepatotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects, and disturbs some endocrine organs in rats. The objective is to investigate the untoward effects of arecoline on the thyroid gland in mice. Intraperitoneal
Arecoline is one of the main medicinal constituents in areca. Melatonin is an amine molecule with multiple functions in plants and animals. However, the interaction between arecoline and melatonin remains unknown. Herein, metabolomics analysis showed that multiple metabolites including arecoline
Social olfactory recognition in rodents has been shown to assess short-term memory and to be sensitive to cholinergic drugs. It is based on the investigation of a juvenile by an adult rat and is measured by a reduction in duration of exploration during the second of two successive exposures lasting
Under the conditions of the constancy of the postsynaptic effect of two M-cholinolytics atropine and amizil the relationship between the presynaptic and protective effects of the drugs in DDVF intoxication was studied. The indication of the level of the postsynaptic activity was the suppression by
The pathophysiology, symptomatology, and treatment of memory loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease are described. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by cerebral cortical atrophy, neuronal loss, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuritic plaques. The primary neuropharmacologic defect involves
The effects of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. WAY-100,579 and ondansetron (both at doses of 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg s.c.) and the muscarinic receptor agonist arecoline (1.0 mg/kg s.c.), on spatial learning and memory in the water maze were examined in rats after combined S-AMPA lesions to the
We present a systematic review of substance use disorder (SUD) to Areca catechu nut (AN) and AN containing betel quid (ANcBQ) with emphasis on dependence resulting from chewing of tobacco-free ANcBQ. We examined pharmacology of intoxication and addiction, and factors influencing quitting
Chronic intake of ethanol both in human and rat results in a substantial impairment in memory function associated with a reduction in the number of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain which give rise to the cholinergic afferentation of the cortical mantle. Degenerative changes in the basal
BACKGROUND
Tardive dyskinesia remains a troublesome adverse effect of conventional antipsychotic (neuroleptic) medication. It has been proposed that tardive dyskinesia could have a component of central cholinergic deficiency. Cholinergic drugs have been used to treat tardive dyskinesia.
OBJECTIVE
To
