Possible Interaction: Catechin and Glucose

“Thus, catechin intake in the evening more effectively suppressed elevation of postprandial glucose.”

“Green tea polyphenols, particularly catechins , decrease fasting and postprandial glucose.”

“However, when C availability was increased by the addition of glucose , this pattern was reversed, i.e. the presence of O. tyrtaeum decreased nitrogen leaching and its availability to soil microflora.”

“Using 3-O-[14C] methyl-D-glucose … it was shown that the uptake of glucose into the heart tissue increased by 30% under the … C. From these results it can be concluded that C inhibits the oxidation of FFA in favor of … diminishes the oxygen-wasting effect of FFA.”

“Thus, fasting in C appears to impair the insulin secretory response of beta cells to glucose , whereas OCE maintain significantly greater responsiveness.”

“In addition, catechins , gallic acid, and theanine in tea with added glucose were significantly reduced during roasting.”

“This study showed that co-administration of ASA, M, C and AT, could improve glucose and lipid metabolism and oxidative stress markers in the kidneys and heart tissues of diabetic rats more markedly than the administration of these drugs alone.”

“The addition of glucose and methyl glyoxal increased the consumption of catechin while a reduction in the respective o-quinone was observed, suggesting that these substrates have an impact in other reactions involving catechin.”

“Furthermore, glucose and fatty acid transport were also suppressed by catechin.”

“only two fraction (B and C ) could exert significant lowering in the plasma levels of lipids and Glu.”
