Effect of Achillea millefolium aqueous extract on memory deficit and anxiety caused by stroke in ovariectomized rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Some studies indicated that the decrease of estrogen level in menopausal woman results in increasing the risk of stroke. Although estrogen is a neuroprotective factor, high consumption of this compound may develop breast cancer and endometriosis. The present study investigated the effect of Achilles millefolium extract, containing estrogenlike compounds, on memory impairment and anxiogenic-like behaviors caused by cerebral ischemia in ovariectomized rats. Methods: Permanent middle cerebral artery ligation was performed, as a model for studying postmenopausal condition, in 48 female Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g. The aqueous extract of A. millefolium was prepared and gavaged for 4 weeks after inducing cerebral ischemia. Memory and anxiety-like behavior assessments were evaluated by step-through and elevated plus maze apparatus, respectively. Result: According to the results, cerebral ischemia in ovariectomized rats induced amnesia and anxiogenic-like behaviors which were restored by 7 mg/kg of A. millefolium aqueous extract. Furthermore, inactivation of estrogen receptors (ERs) by tamoxifen (100 µg/kg, intraperitoneally) blocked the restoration effect of A. millefolium on behaviors induced by cerebral ischemia. Conclusion: It could be concluded that, oral administration of A. millefolium extract is able to restore memory impairment and anxiogenic-like behaviors induced by ischemia via ERs in ovariectomized rat.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
