progressive cognitive decline is one of the hallmark symptoms of alzheimer’s disease (ad) which can be modeled by β-amyloid injection into specific regions of brain. since epigallocatechin-3-gallate (egcg) is a potent antioxidant agent which its role against oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown in prior studies, we tried to determine whether egcg administration protects against β-am...

Progressive cognitive decline is one of the hallmark symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which can be modeled by β-amyloid injection into specific regions of brain. Since epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a potent antioxidant agent which its role against oxidative stress and inflammation has been shown in prior studies, we tried to determine whether EGCG administration protects against β-am...

Objective(s): In the present study, our aim was to investigate the possible protective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepatotoxicity by using Hep3B human hepatoma cells. Specifically, the study examines the role of some proinflammatory markers and oxidative damage as possible mechanisms of LPS-associated cytotoxicity. Consequently, the hepatocellu...

due to the anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of green tea epigallocatechin-gallate (egcg), this research study was conducted to evaluate, for the first time, the efficacy of chronic treatment of egcg on alleviation of hyperalgesia in streptozotocin-diabetic (stz-diabetic) rats. male wistar rats were divided into control, diabetic, egcg-treated-control and diabetic and sodium salicylate (ss...

background and aims: epigallocatechin-3-gallate (egcg) is a polyphenolic compound from green tea, which its anticancer effects on many types of cancers have been confirmed, but the molecular mechanism by which egcg induces apoptosis remains unknown. the aim of the present study was to investigate anti-proliferative properties and apoptotic signaling pathway of egcg on pc3 human prostate cancer ...
