Abstract : Obesity, a medical condition is a prominent risk factor for the impairment of memory. HFDIO causes severe impairments in cholinergic-dependent memory through increasing the oxidative burden and reducing synaptic plasticity, and dentate gyrus neurogenesis in rodents brain. Oxidative stress is involved in increasing the acetylcholine esterase (AChE), an enzyme responsible for breakdown of ACh in synapse. Sage inhibits the AChE enzyme and reduce the oxidative level in brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Salvia officinalis (Sage) on cholinergic- dependent memory improvement and oxidative stress by using high fat diet-induced obesity (HFDIO) mice model. 20 swiss albino mice (8-10 weeks: 25-35 grams) were divided into 2 groups: Group 1; control (n =10) and Group 2; HFDIO (n =10). HFD was provided for 8 weeks to the group 2. After recording the memory, ethanolic extract of Sage was given orally for 1 month to the group 2. Memory improvement were assessed by using cholinergic-dependent behavioral batteries including novel object recognition (NOR) and contextual fear conditioning (CFC). Paired t-test and ANOVA were used for statistical analyses. SOD, APOP, GSH, NO and MDA level from hippocampus and cortex were analyzed by using bioassay. The HFDIO mice showed remarkable level of body weight (average: 58 grams, P
