Abstract: (15885 Views)
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that sesame oil affects memory and learning. In the present work, effect
of a diet containing 10% sesame oil used during pregnancy was evaluated on short-term passive avoidance learning of
offspring rats by Shuttle box.
Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 9 each group). Control group consumed regular diet
during pregnancy and the treatment group received a diet containing 10% sesame oil. Male and female offspring were
examined on the 30th day of their ages.
Results: Passive avoidance learning of offsprings that their mother received sesame oil during pregnancy was
significantly increased in comparison to the control group.
Conclusion: The results show that consumption of a diet containing 10% sesamin oil during pregnancy significantly
increases short -term passive avoidance learning of offspring.
