They were then tested for markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as for performance in spatial learning and memory tasks-namely a water "maze" in which the rat had to memorize the location of a hidden platform.

The IH-rats that received the green tea-treated water performed significantly better in a water maze than the rats that drank plain water, the researchers found.

"GTP-treated rats exposed to IH displayed significantly greater spatial bias for the previous hidden platform position, indicating that GTPs are capable of attenuating IH-induced spatial learning deficits," wrote Dr. Gozal, adding that GTPs "may represent a potential interventional strategy for patients" with sleep-disordered breathing.

The study is published in the second issue for May of the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
