We investigated the effects of cocoa tea and its main active compound theobromine on ambulatory activity, compared with green tea and caffeine. Although cocoa tea and theobromine themselves didn’t change the ambulatory behaviors as green tea and caffeine did, combined administration with green tea or caffeine showed a synergistic action. The obtained data are perhaps contribution to the consumption of cocoa tea in the world.
