Amelioration of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment by Lemon oil in experimental model of Stressed mice. Biomed Pharmacother. 2018 Jul 02;106:575-583 Authors: Falls N, Singh D, Anwar F, Verma A, Kumar V Abstract Citrous lemon (Rutaceae) an Indian folk medicine has been used for the treatment of various pathological diseases viz., diabetes, cardiovascular, inflammation, hepatobiliary dysfunction and neurodegenerative disorder. Can lemon oil altered the memory of unstressed and stressed mice, a basic question for which the present work was put on trial. The present investigation was intended to assess the impact of Lemon oil on memory of unstressed and Stressed Swiss young Albino mice. Lemon oil (50 and 100 mg/kg o.r.) and donepezil (10 mg/kg) were guided for three weeks to different groups of stressed and unstressed mice. The nootropic movement was assessed utilizing elevated plus maze and Hebbs Williams Maze. Cerebrum acetylcholinesterase (AChE), plasmacorticosterone, decreased glutathione, lipid per oxidation alongside superoxide dismutase and catalase was surveyed as marker for disease. Histopathology was performed for estimation of drug effects. Acute immobilized stress was induce, lemon oil (100 mg/kg) and donepezil together indicated memory enhancing movement both in stressed and unstressed mice. Lemon oil significantly (p < 0.001) altered and lowered brain AChE activity both in stressed and unstressed mice. ...
