Long-Term Green Tea Extract Supplementation Does Not Affect Fat Absorption, Resting Energy Expenditure, and Body Composition in Adults
Background: Green tea (GT) extract may play a role in body weight regulation. Suggested mechanisms are decreased fat
absorption and increased energy expenditure.
Objective:We examined whether GT supplementation for 12 wk has beneficial effects on weight control via a reduction in
dietary lipid absorption as ...
Green tea influences intestinal assimilation of lipids in humans: a pilot study
OBJECTIVE: Many data show that green tea (GT) consumption has a beneficial effect on human health, including antiinflammatory,
antibacterial and anticarcinogenic activities. However, there are no data on the effect of long-term GT intake on lipid assimilation
not related to luminal processes. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to assess the impact ...
Green tea extract and its major constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibit growth and halitosis-related properties of Solobacterium moorei
that has been associated with halitosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea extract and its
major constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on growth and several halitosis-related properties of S. moorei.
Methods: A microplate dilution assay was used to determine ...
Epigallocatechin Gallate Nanodelivery Systems for Cancer Therapy
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, are generally expensive, highly toxic and lack efficiency. Cancer chemoprevention using phytochemicals is emerging as a promising approach
for the treatment of early carcinogenic processes. ()-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major bioact...
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) Suppresses the Trafficking of
Lymphocytes to Epidermal Melanocytes via Inhibition of JAK2:
Its Implication for Vitiligo Treatment
Vitiligo is an inflammatory skin disorder in which activated T cells play an important role in its onset and progression. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major chemical constituent of green tea, exhibits remarkable anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. EGCG ...
Effect of green tea extract on bonding durability of an etch-and-rinse adhesive system to cariesaffected dentin
Objective: Green tea extract has been advocated as a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor; however, its effect on bond durability to caries-affected dentin has never been reported. Thus, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of two MMP inhibitors (2% chlorhexidine and 2% green tea extract), applied after ...
Dissipation Pattern, Processing Factors, and Safety Evaluation for Dimethoate and Its Metabolite (Omethoate) in Tea (Camellia
Sinensis)
Residue levels of dimethoate and its oxon metabolite (omethoate) during tea planting, manufacturing, and brewing were investigated using a modified QuEChERS sample preparation and gas chromatography. Dissipation of dimethoate and its metabolite in tea plantation followed the first-order kinetic with a ...
Comparative effects of selected plant polyphenols, gallic acid
and epigallocatechin gallate, on matrix metalloproteinases
activity in multidrug resistant MCF7/DOX breast cancer cells
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of selected polyphenols: gallic acid (GA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2 and MMP-9) activity in multidrug resistant (MDR) human breast adenocarcinoma cells: MCF7/DOX ...
