Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Compared to control-… cells, treatment with catechin agents significantly suppressed cell growth in a dose-dependent … (P < 0.01), with strongest effects evoked by ECG and EGCG in UROtsa cells, ECG in low-grade RT4 and SW780 …, and PP-60 and EGCG in high-grade TCCSUP and T24 cells.

There was a strong inverse association between the intake of (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin and coronary heart disease death, which was somewhat attenuated after multivariate adjustment (risk ratios from lowest to highest quintile: 1.00, 0.95, 0.97, 0.77, 0.76).

On the basis of the excretory pattern of (epi)catechins in the urine, data suggested that the bioavailability of epicatechins may be higher than that of catechins and that (epi)catechins may be more available from blueberries compared to cranberries.
