Abstract
Cognitive enhancing activity of Betula platyphylla sap was determined in scopolamine induced amnesic mice using passive avoidance test. Oral acute administration of the sap effectively reversed memory deficit in a dose dependent manner. Then the sap was standardized on the basis of sugar contents using HPLC combined with refractive index detector. Glucose and fructose were the main sugars present in the sap.
