Anti-inflammatory Action of Green Tea

Abstract: Since green tea and EGCG have multiple targets and act in a pleiotropic manner, we may consider their usage to improve the quality of life in patients with inflammatory disease. Green tea and EGCG have beneficial health effects and no severe adverse effects; however, care should be taken to avoid overdosage, which may induce deleterious effects including hepatic injury.

“…37 Green tea has anti-inflammatory effects and the production of proinflammatory mediators. 38 We detected no changes in IL-6 and TNF-α levels due to GTE, in contrast to other reports that GTE reduced TNF-α and IL-6 levels. 39 GTE intake increases expression of lipases, reduces adipose fat mass, and in parallel increases inflammatory molecules and cytokines.…”

“…In addition, compared with the full‐differentiated epithelium obtained in 21 days of static culture, In‐OC presents a more pronounced and well‐established crypts‐villus axis, more abundant mucus secretion and a lower TEER value closer to native human intestine. 3D‐HIE obtained in In‐OC was, then, used to perform a biological assay for testing a functional food Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG), an extract of green tea that has been proved to have multiple effects on human pathophysiological processes (Guida et al, ), including anticancer, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐collagenase, and anti‐fibrosis effects (Hsu & Liou, ; Ohishi, Goto, Monira, Isemura, & Nakamura, ; Park et al, ). On this device, we simulated the oral ingestion of a functional food EGCG by loading a epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC) suspension on the apical sealed side.…”
