ROLE OF GREEN TEA AND ITS CONSTITUENT EPIGALLOCATECHIN-3-GALLATE IN THE HEALTH MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Green tea and its constituents is natural beverage used worldwide especially in Asian countries and also used as natural medicine for thousands of years. The current approaches for diseases treatment based on allopathic drugs offer restricted options, adverse effect and also show alterations in biochemical and genetic pathways. Considerable achievement on green tea and its constituents has been made based on experimental studies to confirm its mechanism of action in disease modulation but the exact mechanism still under investigation. It is thought that, green tea is rich in antioxidant and shows a pivotal role in the scavenging of free radical generation and prevention of disease pathogenesis. However, further studies are needed to confirm the safe dose and the exact mechanism of action in relation to health management. In the present review, an attempt has been made to explore the role of green tea in diseases prevention and its approach on modulation of various biochemical and physiological process.Â
