Green tea: protective action against oxidative damage induced by xenobiotics

Abstract: The indiscriminate usage of synthetic chemicals and pesticides has led to a widespread contamination of land, water and air with harmful xenobiotics. The exposure to these toxicants results in severe health effects on organisms. Also, some natural foods contain harmless chemical species (nitrate), which however become toxic on certain conditions. Hence it is pertinent to focus attention on commonly consumed plant food materials, which can neutralize the toxicity damage caused by environmental agents. One of th… Show more

“…The levels of ROS and RNS are balanced by two lines of cell defense including the enzymatic (as the first line) and nonenzymatic (as the second line) antioxidants providing maximal protection against OTS via ROS clearing and scavenging (88). Preventive and therapeutic features of antioxidants are well-known and they have been known to have a critical role in protecting biological sites from oxidative injuries (89)(90)(91)(92). By now, many kinds of fruits, vegetables, plant food materials, and dietary supplementation have been investigated for their antioxidant capabilities (92)(93)(94).…”

“…TPs are the essential ingredient of tea and account for about 30% of the dry green tea weight (Li et al, 2018;Liang et al, 2017;Zhao & Zhang, 2019). Various studies found that these compounds show high antioxidant properties in rabbit (Eid et al, 2011), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (Thawonsuwan et al, 2010) and inhuman (Kaushik et al, 2011;Meng et al, 2008). These compounds have multiple biological features, such as reducing neurodegenerative disorder (Chastain & Moss, 2015;Kim et al, 2004), inflammation (Suzuki et al, 2009), cardiovascular diseases (Keske et al, 2015;Lecumberri et al, 2013) and cancer (Samadi et al, 2015).…”

“…The major active ingredients in green tea are polyphenolic compounds known as catechins (Balentine et al, 1997). These compounds are reported to have high antioxidant activity in humans (Meng et al, 2008;Kaushik et al, 2011), rabbit (Eid et al, 2010) and in rainbow trout (Thawonsuwan et al, 2010). These compounds were reported to stimulate fat oxidation in obese Thais (Auvichayapat et al, 2008) and decrease the immune potency of fish species (Thawonsuwan et al, 2010).…”
