Beneficial Effects of Tea and the Green Tea Catechin Epigallocatechin-3-gallate on Obesity.
Green tea has been shown to have beneficial effects against cancer, obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes, bacterial and viral infections, and dental caries. The catechin (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has shown the highest biological activity among green tea catechins (GTCs) in most of the studies. While several epidemiological studies have shown the beneficial effects of tea and GTCs on o...
متن کاملInteraction of tea catechin (-)-epigallocatechin gallate with lipid bilayers.
A major component of green tea extracts, catechin (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), has been reported to be biologically active and interacting with membranes. A recent study reported drastic effects of EGCg on giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). In particular, EGCg above 30 microM caused GUVs to burst. Here we investigated the effect of EGCg on single GUVs at lower concentrations, believing ...
متن کاملCigarette smoke-induced biochemical perturbations in human erythrocytes and attenuation by epigallocatechin-3-gallate--tea catechin.
The protective effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against cigarette smoke (CS) induced alterations in human erythrocyte was studied using an in vitro model. Hemolysis, carboxyhemoglobin, osmotic fragility, hemin, lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein thiol, protein carbonyl, glutathione, antioxidant enzymes, membrane bound ATPases and erythrocyte ghost protein were assessed to investigate ...
متن کاملA tea catechin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, is a unique modulator of the farnesoid X receptor.
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor and serves as a key regulator to maintain health of the liver and intestine. Bile acids are endogenous ligands of FXR, and there are increasing efforts to identify FXR modulators to serve as biological probes and/or pharmaceutical agents. Natural FXR ligands isolated from plants may serve as models to synthesize novel FXR modulat...
متن کاملGreen Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Attenuates Behavioral Abnormality in Hemi-Parkinsonian Rat
Background: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major constituent of green tea, has been introduced as a potent free radical scavenger and can effectively reduce free radical-induced lipid peroxidation. Since free radical injury plays an important role in neuronal damage in Parkinson’s disease (PD), this study examined whether EGCG administration would reduce functional asymmetry in an experimen...
