Report- Ethanolic Ficus carica leaf extract supplementation affects the behavior of male albino mice.

Ficus carica has been known for its medicinal benefits for the treatment of metabolic, cardiovascular and respiratory problems but little information is available regarding the effects of its leaf extracts on behavior. Present study was designed to report the effect of Ficus carica leaf extract on the selected aspects of male albino mouse behavior. Six week old male albino mice were orally treated for 14 days either with 100 mg/ml solvent/ Kg body weight of Ficus carica leaf extract or with commercially available saline solution (Otsuka, Pakistan).

Gender-specific effects of CGP 55845, GABAB receptor antagonist, on neuromuscular coordination, learning and memory formation in albino mouse following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia insult.

GABAB receptor antagonists are experimentally proved as spatial memory enhancers in mouse models but their role has not been described following hypoxic-ischemic insult. 10-day-old albino mice were subjected to Murine model of hypoxia and ischemia. Following brain damage, mice were fed on normal rodent diet till they were 13 weeks old.
