This article has a clear explanation about the effect of the ß-carboline alkaloid harmine containing in the plant of Peganum harmala, it makes a huge debate in many countries as Iran, Brazil, Algeria, China, Australia about the main component that exerted abortion and until now there is no work resolved the matter.
Methods: In this study, we planned our experience, so that each sub-group treated with harmine, stressed with footshock or received the both, according to their pregnancy stages.
Results: Footshock stress as expected with its maximum intensity could be tolerated by the fetuses so could keep the rats pregnant along the main stage, damaged to several physiological parameters, but it makes a good pairing with harmine.
Conclusion: Harmine has enhanced the cognition during pregnancy, and exerted its anxiolytic effect too. Its decreasing effect of food consumption and enhancement of implantation was the main reason to confirm its raising estrogen levels from previous works, raising thrombocytes due to its enhancement of serotonin via its effect of monoamine-oxydase inhibitor MAO I. In other hand, footshock stress even its expected placentation defect but it seemed having an ameliorating effect on immune function during pregnancy.
