abstract

objective: estrogen deficit following menopause results in cognitive behaviors impairment. severity of these impairments in menopause women suffer with cerebral hypo perfusion/ischemia (hi) cause the brain damage and neuronal death. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of pomegranate seed extract (pgse) on avoidance memories after permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (2ccao) in ovariectomized (ovx) rats. materials and methods: adult female wistar rats were divided randomly into eight groups with 8 rats in each group: 1) sham-operated for ovaries and 2ccao (sho); 2) ovx and sham operated for ischemia (oshi); 3-7) ovx with 2ccao (oi) received pgse (100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/2ml/kg or normal saline, orally) for 14 days (oi+e100, 200, 400, 800 or oi+veh); 8) oshi received most effective dose of pgse (200 and 400 mg/kg for passive and active avoidance memories respectively). active and passive avoidance tasks were measured in y-maze and two-way shuttle box respectively. data were analyzed with one-way and rm-anova followed by hsd post-hoc test. results: sensorimotor impaired in oshi+veh and oi+veh (p

Hydroalcoholic Extract of Ferulago angulata Improves Memory and Pain in Brain Hypoperfusion Ischemia in Rats

BACKGROUND Cerebral ischemia causes some disorders in behavioral patterns, including memory disorders and pain, which is due to the production of free radicals. Ferulago angulata, known in Iran as chavir, contains some bioactive compounds having antioxidant and free radical-scavenging properties. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two weeks oral administration of hydroalcoh...

Improving active and passive avoidance memories deficits due to permanent cerebral ischemia by pomegranate seed extract in female rats.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two weeks oral administration of pomegranate seed extract (PGSE) on active and passive avoidance memories after permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (2CCAO) to induce permanent cerebral ischemia in adult female rats. METHODS Seventy adult female Wistar rats (250 ± 20 g) were used. Animals were divided randomly into seven g...
