Abstract
This work is devoted to the analysis of an influence of chronic administration of DGA (0,1 mg/kg and 0,7 mg/kg, i. m.)on the passive avoidance performance in the ovariectomized rats of mature age (18 months), as well as in biogenic amines levels and their turnover in the different brain structures. It was established that chronic administration of DGA during 7 days in the high dose (0,7 mg/kg) corrected impairment of reproduction of this reflex in the ovariectomized rats of mature age, normalizing turnover of monoamines in the brain.
