Effect of Centella asiatica (CA; 150 and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) on memory performance in Morris water maze in D-galactose-treated mice.

The initial acquisition latencies (IAL) on day 20 and retention latencies on days 21 (1st RL) and 42 (2nd RL) following D-gal concurrent treatment were observed. Values are mean ± S.E.M. a as compared to naive group; b as compared to D-gal-treated group; c as compared to CA (150) + D-gal group (repeated measures two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons).
