Abstract

Abstract: Anticancer activities of tea and tea constituents based on scientific evidences have been established in cellular systems and the underlined molecular mechanisms of action continue to be elucidated in such systems. Several recent papers have thoroughly reviewed available data from these in vitro studies. In this article, we review data from recent studies in experimental animal models, epidemiological studies and human intervention studies/clinical trials.

Key words: Tea science, Tea, Polyphenols, EGCG, Cancer, Animal model, Epidemiological study
