According to recent research from People's Republic of China, "(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major active component of green tea. Increasing evidence has suggested that EGCG exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immunosuppressive effects."
"In this study, we investigated the effect of EGCG on concanavalin A (ConA)-induced hepatitis (CIH) in mice, a model of immune-mediated liver injury in humans. We pretreated mice with EGCG before ConA injection, and then measured alanine...
