High doses of diazepam (10-20 mg/kg) were shown to reduce the volume of acute carrageenan-induced inflammatory paw edema in rats. This effect was not observed after adrenalectomy or long-term use of similar doses of diazepam. The present experiment was undertaken to analyze the effects of long-term
Spinal administration of GABA(A) receptor modulators, such as the benzodiazepine drug diazepam, partially alleviates neuropathic hypersensitivity that manifests as spontaneous pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia. However, benzodiazepines are hindered by sedative impairments and other side effect
OBJECTIVE
To investigate pharmacological interactions of diazepam with non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
METHODS
Non selective cyclooxygenase enzyme inhibitors (100 mg/kg acetylsalicylic acid, 10 mg/kg inhibitors (100 mg/kg acetylsalicylic acid, 10 mg/kg indomethacin, and 10 mg/kg diclofenac),
BACKGROUND
The effect of anxiety on nociception has been evaluated but not that of nociception on anxiety.
OBJECTIVE
The study was conducted to analyse the influence of nociception on basal levels of anxiety-like behaviour and on the action of anxiolytic drugs.
METHODS
Nociception was induced by an
The influence of stress and diazepam treatment on airway inflammation was investigated in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized rats. Animals were injected with OVA plus aluminum hydroxide intraperitoneally (day 0) and boosted with OVA subcutaneously (day 7). From the first to 13th day after sensitization,
Carrageenin causes a reproducible inflammatory reaction and remains the standard irritant for examining acute inflammation and anti-inflammatory drugs. High doses of diazepam (10.0-20.0 mg/Kg) were shown to reduce the volume of acute inflammatory paw edema in rats as a response to carrageenin
The anti-inflammatory activity of amitriptyline, diazepam and a new, Russian tranquilizer mebicar was studied in a wide range of therapeutic doses on carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. Mebicar at low doses showed greater and longer (up to 24 h) lasting anti-inflammatory activity as compared to
Effect of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug 480156-S on liver drug-metabolizing activity was studied in rats, and its effect was compared with that of cimetidine. Cytochrome P-450-dependent 7-alkoxycoumarin O-dealkylase activity was not affected by a single administration of 480156-S, but the
High doses of diazepam (10.0-20.0 mg/kg) were shown to reduce the volume of acute inflammatory paw edema in rats as a response to carrageenan administration. This effect was attributed to an action of diazepam on the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) present in the adrenal and/or
Benzodiazepines are psychoactive drugs and some of them also affect immune cells. We here characterized the inflammatory and infiltrating immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) during the acute phase of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in animals treated with Diazepam. Also,
Glutamate and GABA are the main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the CNS, and both may be involved in the neuronal dysfunction in neurodegenerative conditions. We have recently found that glutamate release was decreased in isolated synaptosomes from the rat cerebral cortex during the
The significant occurrence of thrombophlebitis in patients administered diazepam intravenously was described recently. This side effect has been attributed to the crystallization of diazepam and its subsequent precipitation upon contact with blood or intravenous fluids. The current study was
Droperidol and diazepam were evaluated for sedative properties in 12 male Sprague Dawley rats (Rattus norvegicus). Over a period of several weeks, each rat was treated subcutaneously with 0.5 mg droperidol/kg, 2.0 mg droperidol/kg, 5.0 mg diazepam/kg, 15.0 mg diazepam/kg, and physiologic saline
Pulmonary inflammation induced in the rabbit lung by the intravenous injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) increases the lung uptake of 14C-diazepam from the pulmonary circulation. The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which mitochondrial (or peripheral) benzodiazepine
Benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor sites play a relevant role in immune/inflammatory reactions. Acute BDZ treatments were shown not only to suppress cell proliferation in rat thymus but also to decrease TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6 release from adult mouse macrophages. In the present investigation the
