A subacute toxicity evaluation of green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract in mice

Antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of Acanthus ilicifolius flower

“…anthocyanins, saponins, tannins, flavones, and polyphenols [36] . These compounds have known as free radical scavenger, reactive species quencher, hydrogen donor, antioxidant enzymes activator, detoxification inducer, normal cell differentiation promoter, tumor production and proliferation cell inhibitor, and apoptosis inducer [23,[37][38][39][40][41] .…”

Evaluation of oral subchronic toxicity of Pu-erh green tea (camellia sinensis var. assamica) extract in Sprague Dawley rats

“…Not only for PGTE administration, high dose of green tea can also suppress the body weight gain whatever as powder (Kuo et al, 2005) or extract (Chandra and De, 2010). However, some other studies showed that the body weight gain suppression was not obvious by lower dosage green tea treatment (Hsu et al, 2011;Kuo et al, 2005). Therefore, in severe toxicity conditions, the suppressed body weight gain observed in this study cannot be ignored as a toxic effect of PGTE following the evaluation principles given by OECD 408 (OECD, 1998).…”

Neurobehavioral changes in mice offspring exposed to green tea during fetal and early postnatal development

“…Previous studies have shown that GT supplementation ameliorated neurobehavioral aberrations in valproate-induced autism in animals [11], alleviated cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury [12], and increased locomotor activity in mice [13]. Moreover, GT catechins have been reported to improve spatial cognition learning ability in rats [14].…”
