Background and Objective: The brain is vulnerable to the oxidative stress and organophosphates (OP) interaction with the body antioxidant system can induce neuropathy and memory disturbance. Evaluation of minimum toxic dose of diazinone (DZ)-induced oxidative stress and its effects on memory acquisition in male rats.  Materials and Methods: DZ (25 mg/kg, oral) was administered for 2, 4 and 6 we...

Introduction: Scopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, is widely used to induce memory impairment in experimental animals. The present study aims to compare memory impairment and oxidative stress following single and repeated doses administration of scopolamine. Methods: A group of rats received a single shot of scopolamine in different doses (0.5, 1, or 3 mg/kg, IP) 24 hours...
