Assessment of the neuroprotective effect of L. oil on learning and behavior impairment in ovariectomized rats.

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate whether L. oil (CO) is effective on menopause-related memory dysfunction in ovariectomized (OVX) rats.

Materials And Methods: Fifty healthy female Wistar rats were randomly selected and classified into five groups as control, OVX rats, and three OVX groups of rats which received three different doses (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day) of CO for five consecutive weeks by gavage.
