摘要：
The improved effect of Pycnogenol (R) on impaired spatial memory function was studied in orchidectomized rats. Endogenous testosterone levels were decreased by approximately one-half for 3 months after castration. In the radial arm maze, castration significantly impaired working and reference memory function without lowering motor function. Pycnogenol (R) increased the NGF content in the hippocampus and cortex, and improved the spatial memory impairment. These observations confirmed that diagnostic accuracy can be improved by Pycnogenol (R) in androgen-deficient rats. Copyright (c) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
