- Title
THE EFFECT OF CHICKEN ESSENCE ON COGNITION AND MOOD: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.
- Authors
Benton, D.; Young, H. A.
- Abstract
Young adults (n=147) were tested after consuming either BRAND'S® Essence of Chicken (EOC) or a placebo for ten days. EOC resulted in feeling energetic, decision times (reaction time test) were quicker; reaction times on the focused attention task were also quicker; working memory improved; cortisol levels recovered more quickly after a stressor. The possibility that EOC might act via mechanisms associated with either serotonin or the metabolism of carnosine was considered by looking at various polymorphisms of enzymes associated with these neurochemicals. If those with genetic variations, associated with differences in the efficiency of these mechanisms, differentially responded to EOC then this would indicate the mechanism of action. In the event the alleles of 16 polymorphisms did not influence the response to EOC. In the case of rs1050565, a polymorphism associated the serotonin transporter, a possible risk factor for dementia, EOC benefitted the decision times of those with the GG allele.
