BCHE and Cognitive impairment: In particular, chrysin reduced the cognitive impairment induced by AlCl3 as well as normalized the acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities in the hippocampus. The chrysin counteracted the oxidative damage, in terms of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, catalase, and superoxide dismutase impairment, in the brain cortex and hippocampus. Lastly, necrotic cells frequency in the same brain regions was also decreased by chrysin administration
