Title

THE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF MELISSA OFFICINALIS LEAVES USAGE ON LEARNING DISORDER INDUCED BY LEAD ACETATE ADMINISTRATION DURING PRE AND POSTNATAL PERIODS IN RATS

Pages

  97-104

Abstract

 Background: Oxidative stress is one of the probable molecular mechanisms involved in lead (Pb) neurotoxicity. On the other hand, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) which is widely used in traditional medicine, has a high antioxidant activity. In this study, the protective impacts of MELISSA officinalis on the adverse effects of Pb toxicity on LEARNING ability were investigated. Materials and Methods: In this experimental-clinical trial, 40 virgin Wistar rats were mated and divided into control, control positive (vitamin C+Pb), control negative (Pb), and 3 Pb and Mellisa experimental groups. Mellisa was orally administered in three doses including + 25, 50 and 100 mg/ kg of body weight daily. Treatment started from 7th day of gestation and continued through pregnancy and lactation periods. The three month- old offsprings in each group were assessed in terms of memory and LEARNING ability by Morris water maze test and the results were compared between the groups. Results: Exposure to Pb during and after gestation leads to LEARNING disorders. While concomitant administration of Pb and MELISSA, as well as vitamin C can, to a large degree, reduce the adverse effects of Pb on LEARNING abilities. Conclusion: Since no significant differences were obtained from the comparison of results in the control, Pb+M and vitamin C+Pb groups, it can be concluded that MELISSA has antioxidant impacts equal to vitamin C. Therefore, similar to vitamin C, Mellisa can decrease the neurotoxic effects of Pb.
