Green Tea & Health - Antioxidant Properties, Consumption & Role in Disease Prevention (Hardcover)

Green tea is a popular healthful beverage in many parts of the world and its medical properties have been extensively explored.

Other chapters examine how catechins may assist in the suppression of heart transplant rejection; a discussion on EGCG as the most abundant catechin green tea and its capability of inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells; an evaluation and comparison of the phenolic composition and metal content of commercially available aromatized green tea infusions; and an investigation of the chromatographic behavior of catechins.
