N2 - Alzheimer disease (AD) is a common neurologic disorder, impairing memory and spatial perception. Consistent with the extensive search for its treatment, we investigated the effect of Picein on inhibitory avoidance memory, lipid peroxidation, and the activity of hippocampal antioxidant enzymes in rats. Forty adult male Wistar rats were randomized into control group (no intervention), model group (intraperitoneal injection of 3-mg/kg scopolamine), and three interventional groups (1.5-, 2.5-, and 5-mg/kg intraventricular Picein, once a day for 7 days, 24 h after scopolamine injection). After behavioral test, the rats’ hippocampus was isolated for measuring oxidative stress markers, including enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). One-way ANOVA was used for comparing numeric variables among the groups using SPSS v.21. The results showed scopolamine decreased SOD, GPX, and CAT enzymes, and TAC level, and increased MDA level, compared with the control group (P
