Age-related learning and memory deficits in rats: role of altered brain neurotransmitters, acetylcholinesterase activity and changes in antioxidant defense system

Saida Haider, +7 more
- 27 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that increased oxidative stress, decline of antioxidant enzyme activities, altered AChE activity, and decreased biogenic amines level in the brain of aged rats may potentially be involved in diminished memory function.
Journal ArticleDOI

A high dose of short term exogenous D-galactose administration in young male rats produces symptoms simulating the natural aging process.

Saida Haider, +9 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Together the behavioral, biochemical and neurochemical impairments following the high dose of D-gal suggest that symptoms similar to natural aging may be developed in rats in as early as one week.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sub-chronic exposure to noise affects locomotor activity and produces anxiogenic and depressive like behavior in rats

Fizza Naqvi, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: Behavior deficits observed in the present study suggest that an altered brain serotonergic and dopaminergic activity may be involved in the various psychological disorders following exposure to noise stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scopolamine-induced greater alterations in neurochemical profile and increased oxidative stress demonstrated a better model of dementia: A comparative study.

Saida Haider, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: Findings highlight that for planning therapeutic strategies against cognitive dysfunctions, scopolamine-induced dementia model is the most appropriate dementia model to reveal AD-related cognitive impairment profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repeated administration of almonds increases brain acetylcholine levels and enhances memory function in healthy rats while attenuates memory deficits in animal model of amnesia.

Zehra Batool, +11 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: Results of the present study suggest that almond administration for 28 days significantly improved memory retention and suggests a role of acetylcholine in the attenuation of scopolamine induced amnesia by almond.
