Protective effects of theasinensin A against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in mice.
Theasinensins have been identified as a major group of unique catechin dimers mainly found in oolong tea and black tea. Among several types of theasinensins, theasinensin A (TSA), an epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) dimer with an R-biphenyl bond, is the most abundant theasinensin prevalent in oolong tea. Previous studies have reported that TSA exhibits antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities in vitro and in vivo. However, little is known about the hepatoprotective effect of TSA. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of TSA on carbon tetrachloride (CCl Topics: Animals; Benzopyrans; Camellia sinensis; Carbon Tetrachloride; Disease Models, Animal; Humans; Liver; Liver Cirrhosis; Male; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9; Mice; Phenols; Plant Extracts; Tea; Transforming Growth Factor beta1 | 2017 |
