Oxidative stress and the central nervous system

S Salim - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental …, 2017 - ASPET
Biochemical integrity of the brain is vital for normal functioning of the central nervous system
(CNS). One of the factors contributing to cerebral biochemical impairment is a chemical …

Depression, anxiety-like behavior and memory impairment are associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammation in a rat model of social stress

G Patki, N Solanki, F Atrooz, F Allam, S Salim - Brain research, 2013 - Elsevier
In the present study, we have examined the behavioral and biochemical effect of induction
of psychological stress using a modified version of the resident-intruder model for social …

Oxidative stress and psychological disorders

S Salim - Current neuropharmacology, 2014 - ingentaconnect.com
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between cellular production of reactive oxygen species and
the counteracting antioxidant mechanisms. The brain with its high oxygen consumption and …

Inflammation in anxiety

S Salim, G Chugh, M Asghar - Advances in protein chemistry and structural …, 2012 - Elsevier
The idea of the existence of an interaction between the immune system and the central

Moderate treadmill exercise prevents oxidative stress-induced anxiety-like behavior in rats

S Salim, N Sarraj, M Taneja, K Saha… - Behavioural brain …, 2010 - Elsevier
Recent work has suggested correlation of oxidative stress with anxiety-like behavior. There
also is evidence for anxiolytic effects of physical exercise. However, a direct role of oxidative …

Exercise prevents sleep deprivation-associated anxiety-like behavior in rats: potential role of oxidative stress mechanisms

…, A Vu, A Dao, A Levine, K Alkadhi, S Salim - Behavioural brain …, 2011 - Elsevier
Our previous work suggests that pharmacological induction of oxidative stress causes anxiety-like
behavior in rats. Interestingly, sleep deprivation is reported to cause oxidative damage …

[HTML][HTML] Grape powder supplementation prevents oxidative stress–induced anxiety-like behavior, memory impairment, and high blood pressure in rats

…, G Patki, C Mowrey, M Asghar, KA Alkadhi, S Salim - The Journal of …, 2013 - Elsevier
We examined whether or not grape powder treatment ameliorates oxidative stress–induced
anxiety-like behavior, memory impairment, and hypertension in rats. Oxidative stress in …
