Anxiolytic and cognitive effects of dietary phenolics in zebrafish: rosmarinic acid, gallic acid, and 3-hydroxytyrosol
Lucian Hritcu
IntroductionRosmarinic acid (RA), gallic acid (GA), and 3-hydroxytyrosol (3-HT) are phenolic compounds abundant in medicinal plants traditionally used to support cognitive function and neurological wellbeing. Although their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties are well documented in mammalian systems, their behavioral effects remain insufficiently explored in alternative in vivo models relevant for ethnopharmacological screening.MethodsIn this study, we investigated the anxiolytic and cogn
