摘要
The extracts of ginger and cardamom were chosen for studies on estrogen receptors and Alzheimer's disease on the basis of various in silico studies of their constituents. Estrogenic effect was evaluated by uterine weight method while effect on learning and memory was studied using elevated plus maze method. Cardamom extract showed better estrogenic effect as compared to ginger. Reverse trend was observed in case of anti-alzheimer's activity. Both extracts exhibited considerable improvement in learning and memory.
