    Abstract:
    Wistar rats were divided into two blocks: young and aged. Each block was then randomly divided into the following groups: (1) Control (saline solution), (2) Growth Hormone (GH), (3) Testosterone enanthate, and (4) GH plus testosterone enanthate. Animals were trained on a one-trial passive avoidance conditioning and tested for retention 24 h after training and thereafter twice a week until the extinction response occurred. Results showed that GH, testosterone, and GH plus testosterone improved long-term memory in young rats. Both GH and testosterone delayed the extinction process in young and aged rats. The GH-testosterone interaction delayed the extinction only in young rats.
