Green tea suppresses D-galactosamine-induced liver injury in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dietary supplementation with powder of a green tea extract suppressed the enhancement of plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities induced by D-galactosamine, but not by carbon tetrachloride, in a dose-dependent manner in rats. The minimum dose to cause a significant effect was 1 to 2%. Drinking green tea also suppressed plasma enzyme activities. These results indicate that green tea had a liver injury-preventive effect.

We have reportedi) that green tea had a preventive effect on D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver injury in rats. The activities were mainly ascribed to three fractions, n-butanol-soluble, soluble, and insoluble in 70% ethanol.2) Among them the n-butanol soluble fraction was found to contain at least six glycosidic fiavonoids as its main constituents.3} In our continuing studies on these consti...

Literature data support that green tea and its major component epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) have powerful antioxidant effects. Contrary, hepatotoxicity can be induced by high-dose EGCG. The timing of exposure to green tea in relation to administration of hepatotoxic agent plays an import role too. The aim of our work was a verification of antioxidative effect of EGCG on D-galactosamine-induc...
