Tea leaves are known for its antibacterial activity against many microorganisms. In this study we attempted to describe the synergistic antimicrobial activity of tea and antibiotics against enteropathogens. Antimicrobial activity of boiled water tea extract and organic solvent extract were studied against Salmonella typhimurium 1402/84, S. typhi, S. typhi Ty2a, Shigella dysenteriae, Yersinia en...

background: exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. however, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (qol) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea ex...

green tea extract has plenty of antioxidant. due to the toxicity of synthetic antioxidants, it is necessary that these antioxidants in products such as donuts be replaced with natural antioxidants. the purpose of this research is to reduce the usage of synthetic antioxidants as it is possible. so the extract was extracted and it was used as a natural antioxidant in the dough of donuts. due to t...

objective: the aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible biochemical improving effect in lipid metabolic that may result from continuous treatment with green tea extract in normal albino rats and those rendered hyperlipidemic by long term supplementation of fat-enriched diet. materials and methods: fifty male albino rats aged six weeks with 200±10 g weight were randomly divided int...

We investigated whether polyphenolic extracts from black tea, green tea or red wine affect azoxymethane (AOM)-induced intestinal carcinogenesis. Male F344 rats were treated 10 times (1 week apart) with AOM (7.4 mg/kg, s.c.) and then allocated into groups receiving black tea, green tea or red wine extracts mixed in the diet at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight for 16 weeks. In the rats treated with...

Green tea extract (EFLA85942) is able to induce specifically the neutral endopeptidase (NEP) activity and to inhibit the proliferation of SK-N-SH cells; the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is not influenced under the same conditions. The treatment of the cells with arabinosylcytosine and green tea extract results in a strong enhancement of cellular NEP activity whereas cellular ACE...

This review summarizes published in vitro, animal, and clinical studies investigating the effects of green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract and associated catechins on drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters. In vitro studies suggest that green tea extract and its main catechin, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, to varying degrees, inhibit the activity of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CY...

background: compounds present in both green and black teas have been shown to inhibit the growth and activity of bacteria associated with mouth infections. the aim of this study was to assess the effects of green tea leaves extract on the aerobic mouth bacterial load. methods: a total of 25 volunteer female students, aged 20-25 years, were selected and then evaluated by green tea extract and mo...
