: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
: All procedures were performed in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and were approved in the ethics committee (IR.SSU.MEDICINE.REC.1396.317).The experimental investigation we would have wished to perform, in order to further and convincingly support the unprecedentedly strong effects of carvacrol, would be a blinded qPCR analysis of catalase and SOD transcription in lysates of all frozen animal brains. However, this was not possible for us, as economic sanctions that are in effect on us from outside of the scientific arena, unfortunately, made such investigations impossible. We will immediately catch up with such confirmation testing as soon as routine qPCR analysis will again be doable for us.
