Groups Cholinesterase activity (mU/ml) (mean ±SEM)
Control 679.56±11.93
DZN 15 mg/kg 256.56± 15.02***
Crocin 50 mg/kg 659.56 ± 10.78
DZN + Vitamin E 279.33 ± 7.31***
DZN + Crocin 12.5 mg/kg 302.72 ± 8.73***
DZN + Crocin 25 mg/kg 277.29 ± 6.02***

Vitamin E and crocin were administered intraperitoneally three times per week, once a day, respectively. DZN (corn oil as a vehicle) was given through gavage to rats once a day. Data are shown as mean ± SEM, ***P< 0.001 compared to the control group, One way ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer test, n= 6
