The results suggest the potential role of purslane mediated changes in the neuronal tissues.
Perspectives
Purslane was able to induce a significant decrease in calcium concentration of the brain cortex. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin were significantly altered in the studied brain regions after treatment of rats with purslane. Acetylcholinesterase was increased in all brain regions except in the cerebellum.
