Tea, the most commonly consumed non-alcoholic beverages is known for its aroma, taste and putative physiological functions. Its richness in flavonoids and other polyphenols had shown a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical benefits. Fatty liver disease is a metabolic syndrome characterized by large vacuoles of triglycerides accumulated in the liver cells by the process of steatosis. Prese...

Epidemiological studies have shown that intake of tea catechins is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. The antioxidative activity of tea-derived catechins has been extensively studied. Reports have shown that green tea extract intake is associated with increased weight loss due to diet-induced thermogenesis, which is generally attributed to the catechin epigallocatechin gall...

Chronic inflammatory diseases affect millions of people globally and the incidence rate is on the rise. While inflammation contributes to the tissue healing process, chronic inflammation can lead to life-long debilitation and loss of tissue function and organ failure.

BACKGROUND Tea polyphenols have been found to exert beneficial effects on the skin via their antioxidant properties. AIMS We sought to determine whether topical application of green tea or white tea extracts would prevent simulated solar radiation-induced oxidative damages to DNA and Langerhans cells that may lead to immune suppression and carcinogenesis. METHODS Skin samples were analysed ...

Recently, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck chemoprevention research has made major advances with novel clinical trial designs suited for the purpose, use of biomarkers to identify high-risk patients, and the emergence of numerous molecularly targeted agents and natural dietary compounds. Among many natural compounds, green tea polyphenols, particularly (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate...
