Amelioration of Amyloid β‐Induced Cognitive Deficits by <i>Zataria multiflora Boiss.</i> Essential Oil in a Rat Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

It seems that antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticholinesterase activities of ZM or its main constituents might contribute to its beneficial effects in this model. Our findings suggest that ZM may be a potentially valuable source of natural therapeutic agents for the treatment of AD. However, further investigations are necessary to establish its clinical efficacy and potential toxicity, before any recommendations concerning its use as a medication in the treatment of AD.
