Macaiba palm pulp (Acrocomia intumescens Drude) improves memory and induces anxiolytic-like behavior in dyslipidemic rats.

Macaiba pulp is a source of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of macaiba pulp on anxiety behavior, memory and brain oxidative stress in dyslipidemic rats. The animals were divided into four groups (n = 10): Control (CG), Macaíba (MG), Dyslipidemic (DG) and Dyslipidemic Macaiba (DMG).

Evaluation of the effectiveness of macaíba palm seed kernel (Acrocomia intumescens drude) on anxiolytic activity, memory preservation and oxidative stress in the brain of dyslipidemic rats.

Macaíba palm seed kernel is a source of lipids and phenolic compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of macaíba palm seed kernel on anxiety, memory, and oxidative stress in the brain of health and dyslipidemic rats. Forty rats were used, divided into 4 groups (n = 10 each): control (CONT), dyslipidemic (DG), kernel (KG), and Dyslipidemic kernel (DKG).
