Case Study

The Role of Catechins in Human Health and Disease

Mamoru Isemura. Molecules 2019, 24(3), 528.

Catechins have many beneficial properties for human health, such as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-cardiovascular, anti-infectious, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects.
The beneficial biochemical properties of catechins include antioxidant activity, pro-oxygen activity, anti-inflammatory activity, protein kinase C-related and neurotransmission-related properties, and more. The mechanism of action of catechins mainly involves the mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
