Abstract

Caffeine is ingested in form of its natural sources that chiefly include coffee and tea; it is also a major additive to soda or soft drinks as well as a number of medical drugs. Its wide range of availability and legal status in many countries make it available for consumption with little or no restrictions. Caffeine in a psychoactive agent with possibilities of affecting brain structures and functions including behaviours, especially when deliberately consumed at very high doses to alter mood and states of mind or levels of performances. Though the effects of caffeine on the choroid plexus has been investigated once but its effect in conjunction with honey has not been researched on to date. Sixty rats were used and there were six groups labelled: control group, honey only (0.5ml) group, low dose caffeine (0.025g/kg) group, high dose caffeine (0.050g/kg) group, low dose caffeine with honey and high dose caffeine with honey group. The analyses carried out were on physiological and morphological and histological. Results from this study showed that long-term high dose consumption of caffeine alter the structural organisation of the choroid plexus. This could affect the production of Cerebrospinal Fluid. Histologically, caffeine ingestion mildly altered choroid plexus integrity and cellular organization while honey use alongside caffeine administration also mildly ameliorated the caffeine effects.
