The Claim

Pretreatment with 300 mg/kg fenofibrate administered intragastrically 30 minutes before 6 hours of isoflurane anesthesia is associated with improved contextual memory in adult male C57BL/6J mice, as evidenced by significantly higher freezing times in a fear conditioning test on Days 1, 3, and 7 compared to untreated anesthetized controls.
