Alteration of neuropharmacological behavior by elemental zinc in healthy adult mice

The role of elemental zinc has been documented for different types of disorder. The present study's objective was to evaluate zinc supplements (zinc sulphate heptahydrate) effect on neurological behavior in mice models. The study was conducted on mice for 28 days. Effect on neurological behaviors was assessed by conducting various behavioral tests, including Elevated plus maze (EPM) test, Hole-board test, Hole cross test, and Open field test. After the experimental period, the zinc supplement group spent less time in the open arm (p
