Brain amino acids concentration was analysed in the striatum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex by HPLC-ECD. Their behaviour was evaluated in the hole-board test (HBT). FRHTs of different leaf to water ratios (1:100, 2:100 and 4:100), analysed by chromatographic methods as regards their flavonoid characteristics, were given to rats as only liquid for 3 months. We hypothesized that it might affect brain amino acid content and thus induce behaviour and neuroprotection. The present research was taken to extend the knowledge about the feasible behavioural and neurochemical implications of sustained oral FRHT consumption. It was already shown that "fermented" rooibos herbal tea (FRHT), which is rich in phenolic compounds, improves the cognitive performance of rats in the water maze and impacts dopaminergic striatal transmission. linearis is connected with the ability of reducing glycaemia, inflammation as well as oxidative stress. ![]() Rooibos tea, brewed using Aspalathus linearis leaves, is a popular South African herbal infusion, but its everyday intake is not fully described in terms of the neuropsychopharmacological outcomes. ![]()
