All Wistar rats of groups II to VI were received respective treatment doses (100/200 mg/kg) 30 minutes before oral administration of Aluminium chloride (100 mg/kg), daily for 42 days. On day 20, 21 and 42 following the start of aluminium chloride administration rats were subjected to evaluation of gross behavioral activity using Open field arena (OFA).
