Wound repair is a natural reaction to injury, which results in restoration of tissue integrity. In this study the healing effect of green tea extract formulation was investigated on open skin wound of rabbit. Active ingredients were extracted from green tea using water and glycerin (4:1) vehicle. Three cream formulations containing 2, 5 and 10% of green tea extract were prepared in the base. A ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Green tea is known worldwide for its high content of polyphenolic compounds and multifactorial beneficial effects on human health. The role of green tea as an inhibitor of lipid hydrolysis is widely discussed. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of green tea extract on lipid digestion and absorption. METHODS The study comprised 32 healthy volunteers aged 23 to 3...

CONTEXT Dental caries, a ubiquitous multifactorial infectious disease, is primarily caused by microorganisms like Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Use of antimicrobials is an important strategy to curb cariogenic microorganisms. AIM The aim was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of C. sinensis extract on S. mutans and L. acidophilus. STUDY SETTING AND DESIGN ...

in this research green tea extract was prepared with water and then fishes in whole and gutted fish form was dipped in solutions of green tea extract (600 ppm) for 90 minutes and then were icing. during storage period (16 days), spoilage oxidation (pv, ffa, and tba), spoilage microbial indices (tvb-n, tvc, pvc) and sensory assessment with interval of 4 days were measured and compared with contr...

Antimutagenic activity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) was studied using Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA 102) (Ames test). Aqueous tobacco extract was found to be mutagenic to S. typhimurium TA 102 at concentration of 50 mg/plate. Green tea polyphenols was found to inhibit the mutagenicity of tobacco in a concentration-dependent manner. Concentrations needed for 50% inhibition of mutagen-in...

Neutrophils play an essential role in host defense and inflammation, but the latter may trigger and sustain the pathogenesis of a range of acute and chronic diseases. Green tea has been claimed to exert anti-inflammatory properties through unknown molecular mechanisms. We have previously shown that the most abundant catechin of green tea, (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), strongly inhibits ...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of aqueous tea extracts on lipid peroxidation and α and γ tocopherols concentration in the oxidative damage of human red blood cells (RBC). RBC was taken as the model for study of the oxidative damage was induced by cumene hydroperoxide (cumOOH). The antioxidative property of leaf green tea, leaf and granulate of black tea and white tea...

OBJECTIVES Bacterial resistant infections have become a global health challenge and threaten the society's health. Thus, an urgent need exists to find ways to combat resistant pathogens. One promising approach to overcoming bacterial resistance is the use of herbal products. Green tea catechins, the major green tea polyphenols, show antimicrobial activity against resistant pathogens. The presen...
