Possible Interaction: Antioxidants and Green Tea Extract

“Accordingly, the plasma total antioxidant capacity was increased, and the LDL oxidizability was significantly reduced by the ingestion of GTE.”

“ GTE intervention increased plasma antioxidant capacity from 1·35 to 1·56 (P<0·02) in postprandially collected plasma, most prominently in smokers.”

“Depending on the type and origin of green tea leaves , their antioxidant properties may be uneven.”

“Furthermore, GTP can stimulate antioxidant enzymes.”

“Moreover, there was a significant inverse correlation between FRAP and TBARS … (r = − 0.40, p < 0.05).ConclusionsA six weeks’ consumption of GTE had marginal effect on aerobic capacity and serum BDNF …, but it caused a marked increase in the blood antioxidant capacity and a moderate …-induced lipid peroxidation.”

“This amount of GTE increased antioxidant capacity (mmol TE kg-1 ) from 1.22 in white chocolate to 16.12.”

“Green … and green tea extract significantly … antioxidant capacity (1.5 to 2.3 μmol/L and 1.2 to 2.5 μmol/L, respectively; P < .05) and whole … (1783 to 2395 μg/g hemoglobin and 1905 to 2751 μg/g hemoglobin, respectively; P < .05) vs controls at 8 weeks.”

“These results suggest that Camellia extract exhibits antioxidant properties by scavenging ROS and enhancing antioxidant enzymes.”

“We hypothesized that GTE supplementation would elevate antioxidant potential and attenuate exercise-induced oxidative stress and muscular damage.”

“It has been shown that green tea polyphenols (GTPs) enhanced intracellular antioxidant defense and promoted the downregulation of proapoptotic genes, and they could be used to protect against the damage induced by UV irradiation.”
