Colchicine Induced Model
Colchicine can selectively destroy hippocampal pyramidal cells and granulosa cells, resulting in cholinergic system damage and short-term learning and memory impairment. Generally, we can induce dementia by injecting colchicine into the ventricles of rats.

Figure. 3. Effect of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (naproxen (NAP) 20 and 40 mg/kg, p.o. and valdecoxib (VAL) 5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) on brain lipid peroxidation levels in intracerebroventricular colchicine (COL)-injected rats. Values are mean ± S.E.M. * P<0.05 as compared to artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF)- injected group; ** P<0.05 as compared to colchicine-injected group; **+ P<0.05 as compared to NAP (20) +COL group. (Repeated measures twoway ANOVA followed by Tukey's test for multiple comparisons). Note: aSCF = artificial cerebrospinal fluid, NAP = Naproxan, COL = Colchicine, VAL = Valdecoxib.
