Male albino mice of weighing around 15-20 gm which are one month old were taken for study. The mice were divide into seven groups, in each group a minimum of six animals are taken. They are induce with β-amyloid protein for memory loss. These memory lossed animals are treated with the alcoholic extract of Santalum album L. for a period of 30 days. Then the enzyme estimation is performed on these mice. The results shows that the Santalum album has the property of increased enzyme levels. That it gives the conclusion that Santalum album L. is having the memory enhancing property.References
