The Effects of Incensole Acetate on Neuro-inflammation, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Memory Impairment Induced by Lipopolysaccharide in Rats.

Incensole acetate (IA) is a major component of Boswellia serrata resin that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and neuroprotective properties. The present study determined the effect of IA on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced memory impairment, and hippocampal cytokines and oxidative stress indicators level. We used 32 Wistar rats (220-250 g weight) randomly divided into four groups.
