Neurodegenerative processes and oxidative stress underlie the development of chronic diseases that present with dysfunction of central nervous system (CNS). Objective: To determine the neuroprotective effect of consumption of Argentine plants of plant extracts with antioxidant activity. We analyzed tissue levels of total phenols (TP), hydroperoxides (HP) and superoxide anion (SO) by colorimetric techniques in different brain regions (weight), comparing the effects of L.grisebachii (LG), I.paraguariensis (IP) and A.quebracho-blanco (AQB) with p
