Our previous studies showed that the green tea-derived polyphenolic compound (-)-epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) reduces amyloid-β (Aβ) production in both neuronal and mouse Alzheimer's disease (AD) models in concert with activation of estrogen receptor-α/phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/protein
The molecular mechanisms whereby gallates in green tea exert metabolic effects are poorly understood.
We found that GPRC6A, a multi-ligand-sensing G-protein-coupled receptor that regulates energy metabolism, sex hormone production, and prostate cancer progression, is a target for gallates. Sodium
Aqueous extracts of Japanese green tea (Camellia sinensis) are able to reverse beta-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We have attributed the capacity to reverse oxacillin resistance in the homogeneous PBP2a producer BB568 and in EMRSA-16 to (-)-epicatechin
