The Positive Influence of Green Tea

Key Pathway

The Immune System

• Stimulates T cells: L-theanine is broken down into ethylamine, which specifically activates T lymphocytes to proliferate and secrete interferon gamma, increasing immune reactivity against viruses and cancer.

• Antimicrobial: EGCG can kill bacteria and viruses, including the influenza virus.

Key Pathway:

Inflammation

• Antioxidant: Green tea flavonoids exert antioxidant effects, decreasing the formation of lipid peroxides (oxidants).

• Anti-inflammatory: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibits the initial inflammatory response to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation, thereby reducing cellular damage.

• Inhibits tissue inflammation: EGCG inhibits matrix metalloproteinases, which are released in inflamed tissue and allow inflammation to spread.
