Cancer Preventive Effects of Green Tea Polyphenols

摘要: Epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of green tea is associated with prevention many types cancer, including breast, lung, colon and prostate cancers. Polyphenols are major bioactive constituents possess anticancer activities. The molecular basis effects polyphenols still under investigation. Research largely focused on particular cancers their underlying mechanisms. Green appear to prevent through numerous mechanisms, redox reactivity, protein binding, synergism commonly used cancer therapies. variable results chemoprevention by may be due, in part, differences metabolism these components. Studies this area understanding modulating bioavailability polyphenols. Until toxicological issues compounds better understood, a moderate view regarding suggested.
