The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of folic acid on passive avoidance task and motor coordination in healthy adult male rats.Materials and methodsAnimals were randomly divided into five groups with 10 in each. 1) Sham treated (Veh); received same volume of normal saline as folate vehicle, 2-5) Test groups; each received a single dose of folate (5, 10 and 15 mg/ml/kg, IP daily for one week). At the end of the treatment with folic acid or vehicle, motor coordination in rotarod (after 24 hr) and passive avoidance memory in shuttle box (after 2 and 30 days) were evaluated, respectively.ResultsThe results showed that folic acid (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) increased short-term (PConclusionOur results suggest that folic acid may improve both short- and long-term memories, dose dependently, although it affects motor balance at lower dose.
