[ 6 ] - Protective Effect of Short-term Administration of Ethanolic Saffron Extract on improvement of Cognitive Deficits and Decrement of Lipid Peroxidation induced by Ethidium Bromide in Experimental Models of MS

Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction is recognized as a significant feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MS. Toxic demyelination by ethidium bromide (EB) is one of the common methods for induction of MS, which leads to neuronal death by production of free radicals and enhancement of oxidative stress burden. According to previous p...
