Abstract

The present study was carried out to evaluate the cerebroprotective effects of ethanolic extract of Bixa orellana leaves in hypoxic neurotoxicity induced rats. Hypoxia was induced by treatment of rats with sodium nitrite in drinking water for 30 days. Bixa orellana attenuated cognitive deficits in sodium nitrite induced rats which was studied by Morris water maze test.
