[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 238196, member: 43589"] [HEADING=1]Abstract[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Aim[/HEADING] We previously reported that oxytocin, a peptide hormone, can reverse the β-amyloid peptide (25–35) (Aβ25–35)-induced impairments of the murine hippocampal synaptic plasticity. In this study, we examined the effects of oxytocin on the Aβ25–35-induced impairment of cognitive behavior in murine in order to investigate the potential of oxytocin as a clinical treatment tool for Alzheimer's disease (AD). [HEADING=2]Methods[/HEADING] The Y-maze and Morris water maze (MWM) tests were performed.
