Background & Objective: There is
plenty of fatty acids of omega-3 in Salmon Fish that affect brain development
and function, therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Salmon
fish’s oil on learning avoidance in
mature male rats.
Materials
& Methods: In this empirical study, we
used 40 mature male rats that were enrolled into control, sham and experimental
groups. The control group was not treated. The sham group received only 1 ml
saline daily, 3 experimental groups of different types received 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ml/kg body weight
respectively, for 28 days. For the evaluation
of avoidance
learning behavior, the shuttle box was used. The
data was evaluated using ANOVA.
Results:The
results suggest that consumption of salmon oil significantly increases in minimum and maximum doses (P<0.01) and average doses (P<0.001) the
process of avoidance learning.
Conclusion: Salmon oil can lead to
increased learning. Therefore, further investigation can be used to treat learning
disorders and memory.
