2.4. Animals One hundred twelve adult male Wistar rats (Pasteur Institute‚ Tehran‚ Iran) weighing 220-250 g were housed in groups of four per cage in a controlled environment (temperature 23±1°C‚ 12h light/dark cycle) with free access to food. Rats were habituated to the new environment for seven days before the test. All experiments were performed in accordance with the guide for the care and use of laboratory animals (IR.SBMU.nrc.REC.1390.20) approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of the
