Abstract

In the experiment the effect of adaptogenic herbal blend of Hypericum perforatum and Rhodiola rosea on the parameters of the search activity of laboratory rats against the background of high and low temperatures was investigated. The experiment was performed in the tool installation (N.R.Grigoriev, 1998), which is the universal problematic camera, with application of the mixture of herbal adaptogens from Hypericum perforatum and Rhodiola rosea in a dose of 30 mg/kg; 150 mg/kg; 300 mg/kg in rats exposed to prolonged heat and cold stress. The tests were carried out on 100 white mongrel male rats weighing 180-200 g. The following indicators of the search activity were subject to registration: 1) motivation-energy parameters (search time and search intensity - the number of targeted paces of rats from the camera for 60 seconds); 2) the parameters of the cognitive sphere (the cognitive index and the coefficient of the erroneous strategy of paces). It was found out that the mental capacity of animals is reduced under the effect of the temperature factor on the body. Powdery mixture of plant adaptogens of Hypericum perforatum and Rhodiola rosea in doses of 150-300 mg/kg significantly improved the cognitive characteristics of the search activity in the conditions of cold and heat stress on the body.
