“…Previous research has also suggested that EOC may improve aspects of cognition, in particular working memory [4,16] and attention [3,5]. Unfortunately, the present study was unable to replicate these findings; drinking EOC was not associated with any aspect cognitive performance.…”

“…Recovery of serum cortisol levels following a stressor was also enhanced in those who consumed EOC for one week [4]. More recently, Konagai et al [5] found that seven days of consuming EOC reduced reaction times, improved working memory and decreased ratings of depression. The general pattern of findings suggests an improved mood and an enhanced ability to recover from a mental workload.…”

The Effect of Chicken Extract on Mood, Cognition and Heart Rate Variability

Chicken extract, which is rich in anserine and carnosine, has been widely taken in Asian countries as a traditional remedy with various aims, including attenuation of psychological fatigue. The effects of consuming BRAND’S Essence of Chicken (EOC) or a placebo on 46 young adults’ responses to a standard psychological “stressor” were considered. Heart rate variability (HRV), cortisol responses, mood and cognition were measured at baseline and after ten days supplementation. EOC resulted in feeling less anxious, depressed and confused and more agreeable and clearheaded. A decrease in HRV was observed after EOC but only in females. Cognition and cortisol levels were not influenced by EOC. Findings suggest that EOC may be a promising supplement to improve mood in a healthy population.

“…EOC consists mainly of proteins, peptides and free amino acids (Konagai et al, 2013). It is therefore difficult to identify the precise active ingredient that decreases the GR of white bread.…”

“…The solid content consists mainly of proteins, peptides and amino acids. Previous studies on humans have demonstrated that EOC enhances or maintains brain function in the elderly (Konagai et al, 2013), enhances cortisol metabolism and promotes mental fatigue recovery (Nagai et al, 1996), and affects the protein composition of colostrum in lactating women (Chao et al, 2004). The co-ingestion of amino acids with carbohydrate has been documented to enhance insulin secretion and reduce glycaemia (van Loon et al, 2000).…”

Essence of chicken (EOC) beverage is a chicken meat extract, widely consumed in Asian countries for health benefits. EOC is a rich source of peptides and amino acids. White bread has become a popular staple food in all regions of Southeast Asia. A randomized controlled, crossover, non-blind trial was performed to investigate the role of EOC on glycaemic response (GR) of white bread. Ten healthy young subjects returned on five separate days for three glucose and two bread sessions. Subjects consumed bread or bread with EOC. The 120 min incremental area under the curve was significantly lower after consuming two bottles of EOC with bread than white bread alone. The glycaemic index (GI) of white bread was 83 and white bread with EOC 57. The co-ingestion of EOC may be a practical and simple way to reduce the GR of bread and other starch-based staples.

“…To illustrate this statement, Cui, Z., et al, have employed diverse models like open field box, elevated plus maze, hidden platform water maze along with operant testing chamber, along with molecular methods to evaluate long term depression, a base for long term memory, in transgenic rodent models recently. 9 This can be employed in physiological 10,11,12 , natural, 17 environmental, 13,14 nutritional, 21,25 or pathological models. 15,16,18,19,20,22,23,24,26 Memory and learning experiments form a large portion of those undertaken and evaluated by psychologists, although they comprise a subset of yet-underdetermined and bizarre cognitive processes.…”

Background: Few studies address the rationality of utilization of instrumental tasking and maze learning in neuropsychological research evaluations; this is apparent from the literature search in biomedical databases with appropriate keywords yielding nil hits for rationality of such usage. Furthermore, how could such rationality be interpreted and used for scientific benefits of the researcher? What is the scope of applicability of such research in neuropsychology to patient care? This systematic review addresses such key issues and focuses on ways to appraise such research articles using rationality as the key criterion in such appraisals and interpretations.Objectives & scope: The systematic review focuses on deciphering the rationality and novelty of instrumental usage in neuropsychological research and patient care, from a thorough literature search in a seven month period from January 2013 to July 2013 in the "medline" database. The review was a pilot initiative to give a recommended harmonized validated checklist to best search, select, appraise, and apply such research for two purposespsychological research and patient care.Methods: To this end, this meta-analysis uses "medline" index and "pubmed" database to establish a list of the pre-clinical and clinical research articles using instrumental tasks and maze learning in the last seven months. Then, quantitative analysis of these included articles are performed using MS Excel 2013 with Daniel XL-add in. Qualitative analysis of the selected articles has been performed using a pilot checklist validation, provided in this article; the same can be used for appraising and applying such research to the benefits of researcher and patients. The last seven months has been chosen appropriately since this is a pilot attempt to fulfilling the objective that it intends to do so.Conclusions & limitations: This meta-analysis will be useful in giving recommendation about how to select and critically appraise and interpret such neuropsychological evaluations in research using maze and neurological instrumentation. The study has not considered in-depth the methodologies of each individual research study. Although novelty was one of the objectives, it could not be met with appropriately due to the diverse nature of methodologies followed in each of the included research articles. Nonetheless, this pilot meta-analysis must encourage more explorations in this research area from a broader perspective in the future.
