Abstract The present study evaluated the effects of blackberry juice that is rich in different concentrations of anthocyanins and polyphenols (2.6 mg/kg anthocyanins, 14.57 mg/kg polyphenols; 5.83 mg/kg anthocyanins, 27.10 mg/kg polyphenols; 10.57 mg/kg anthocyanins, 38.40 mg/kg polyphenols) on anxiety-like behaviour in Wistar rats. The rats were treated with blackberry juice for 21 days and then tested in the elevated plus maze, locomotor activity test and forced swim test. The results were…

Impact of blackberry juice on biochemical and histopathological profile in Wistar rats fed with a high-sucrose and high-colesterol diet
ABSTRACT The effect of blackberry juice processed with microwaves and ultrasound on the biochemical and histopathological profile of Wistar rats fed with high-sucrose+cholesterol diet was evaluated.…
Geroprotective effects of Aronia melanocarpa fruit extract on Drosophila melanogaster
TLDR
It was revealed that the ethanol extract of chokeberry increases the median life expectancy in males and females by 5% when Drosophila melanogaster is added to the diet for 4 – 6 weeks of life, suggesting that intervention even in old age is sufficient to increase lifespan.
Anthocyanins Potentially Contribute to Defense against Alzheimer’s Disease
TLDR
This study presents a literature review of ANTs from different berries and their potential therapeutic value, with particular emphasis on neurodegenerative AD, which owing to oxidative stress is known to cause Alzheimer's disease.
Ancestral Food Sources Rich in Polyphenols, Their Metabolism, and the Potential Influence of Gut Microbiota in the Management of Depression and Anxiety.
TLDR
An important number of matrices used particularly for food and medicinal purposes, recognized for their anxiolytic and antidepressant effects are concentrated, establishing the importance of metabolism and biotransformation mainly of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols by the action of the gut microbiota.

Effect of Morus alba L. (mulberry) leaves on anxiety in mice
TLDR
The results of the present study suggest that a methanolic extract of M. alba leaves may possess an anxiolytic effect.
Montanoa frutescens and Montanoa grandiflora Extracts Reduce Anxiety-Like Behavior during the Metestrus-Diestrus Phase of the Ovarian Cycle in Wistar Rats
TLDR
Results indicate that the M. frutescens and M. grandiflora extracts possess anxiolytic-like effects that depend on the ovarian cycle phase, supporting the Mexican ancient medicinal use of these plants to ameliorate anxiety disorders.
ANTI-ANXIETY EFFECT OF ARONIA MELANOCARPA FRUIT JUICE ADMINISTERED SUBCHRONICALLY TO RATS
TLDR
It is concluded that polyphenols are the main bioactive substances in the juice and most probably they are responsible for the anti-anxiety effect of AMFJ applied subchronically to rats.
The aqueous crude extract of Montanoa frutescens produces anxiolytic-like effects similarly to diazepam in Wistar rats: involvement of GABAA receptor.
The Aqueous Crude Extracts of Montanoa frutescens and Montanoa grandiflora Reduce Immobility Faster Than Fluoxetine Through GABAA Receptors in Rats Forced to Swim
TLDR
Montanoa extracts prevented quickly the stress-induced behaviors in the swimming test through action at the GABAA receptor, exerting a protective effect different to the typical antidepressants drugs.
Anxiolytic-like effect of Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice in rats.
TLDR
AMFJ showed an anxiolytic-like effect which was demonstrated by a dose-dependent increase in the time of active social contacts between the test partners, and the effects of both AMFJ doses were comparable to the effect of diazepam.
Reduction of anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors in rats after one month of drinking Aronia melanocarpa berry juice.
TLDR
Findings demonstrate the beneficial behavioral effects of the one-month-long free drinking of phenolic-rich AJ in rats that may be recognized as stimulating, anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like.
