Effects of Moringa oleifera on working memory: an experimental study with memory-impaired Wistar rats tested in radial arm maze.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Memory impairment is a serious problem that has a significant negative impact on survival and quality of life. When used for a long time, drugs used to treat memory loss become less effective and have more side effects, making therapy more difficult. Different medicinal plants are now being highlighted because of their valuable applications and low risk of adverse effects. Moringa oleifera is one of these plants that has gained much attention due to its diverse biological functions. The study aimed to determine the effects of Moringa oleifera on working memory in memory-impaired Wistar rats.

Results

For this experimental study, 30 male Wistar rats having 150-250 g bodyweight were divided equally into three groups: Group-I/normal memory group (treated with oral norm
