This study was designed to investigate if the impairment of learning and memory induced by acute administration of scopolamine (1.4 mg/kg ip) in rats is associated with altered brain oxidative stress status. The passive avoidance paradigm was used to assess retrieval memory of rats after scopolamine
Depression, among other non-cognitive symptoms, is common in patients with dementia. The effect of Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort) extract, with well-documented antidepressant activity, was tested on memory retrieval 24 h after training on a one-trial passive avoidance task in mice. Acute
Along with traditional pharmacotherapies, extracts of Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's wort) are used in the treatment of mild to moderately severe depression. Hypericum is a nonspecific inhibitor of the neuronal uptake of monoamines (serotonin, 5-HT; noradrenaline, NA; dopamine, DA) as well as
The effect of a standardised 50% ethanolic extract of Indian Hypericum perforatum (IHp) was investigated for its putative nootropic activity on various experimental paradigms of learning and memory, viz. transfer latency (TL) on elevated plus-maze, passive avoidance (PA), active avoidance (AA),
Effects of a Hypericum extract in therapeutic use and hyperforin sodium salt were evaluated in rat and mouse avoidance tests. In a conditioned avoidance response (CAR) test on the rat, oral daily administration of hyperforin (1.25 mg/kg/day) or of the extract (50 mg/kg/day) before the training
