Validation of green tea polyphenol biomarkers in a phase II human intervention trial

Abstract: Health benefits of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) have been reported in many animal models, but human studies are inconclusive. This is partly due to a lack of biomarkers representing green tea consumption. In this study, GTP components and metabolites were analyzed in plasma and urine samples collected from a phase II intervention trial carried out in 124 healthy adults who received 500- or 1000-mg GTPs or placebo for 3 months. A significant dose-dependent elevation was found for (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG)… Show more

“…Moreover, numerous human intervention and bioavailability studies using green tea extracts or EGCG have reported no serious adverse effects from their use (Wang et al 2008;Abboud et al 2008;Mochizuki and Hasegawa 2010). On AST (U\L)…”

“…The placebo rats also had free access to no GTP (P group) or 0.5% GTP drinking water (PG group) throughout the study period. The 0.5% concentration of GTP in drinking water daily mimics human consumption of green tea of 4 cups a day based on our previous human [20] and animal studies [15,21]. All rats were fed a rodent chow diet ad libitum during the 12-week feeding period.…”

“…A dose of 110 mg/day of phytosome given for 30 days revealed the enhanced level of α-tocopherol in RBCs in addition to higher PUFA levels. It has been found that these phytosomes reduce the oxidative stress in body (Wang et al 2008). These phytosomes have been found to enhance the pumping of heart, and increase prostacyclins into blood circulation.…”
