Interaction of prenatal stress and morphine alters prolactin and seizure in rat pups

Prenatal exposure to stress and morphine has complicated effects on epileptic seizure. In the present study, effect of prenatal forced-swim stress and morphine co-administration on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced epileptic behaviors and prolactin blood level (PBL) was investigated in rat offspring. Pregnant Wistar rats were divided to four groups of control–saline, control–morphine, stressed–saline and stressed–morphine. In […]
