摘要
茶消费量占全球饮料消费量第2位,普及性仅次于水。绿茶的化学成分主要包括多酚、咖啡因和氨基酸,绿茶中含有丰富的儿茶素,其中茶多酚是最丰富的。绿茶及其中的多酚在治疗多种疾病方面发挥积极作用,如癌症、糖尿病、心血管疾病、肥胖症等。对茶和茶多酚相关的药理特征进行了重点讨论,希望能开拓新的研究领域,并鼓励对公众健康问题进行研究。
Tea is the second most consumed beverages in the world,next to water in terms of worldwide popularity.The chemical components of green tea chiefly include polyphenols,caffeine,and amino acids.Green tea is rich in catechins,of which (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate is the most abundant.As described in literature,green tea and its polyphenols are beneficial in curing a wide variety of diseases like cancer,diabetes,cardiovascular disease,obesity,etc.The current review article focuses on pharmacological profile associated with green tea and its polyphenols,so as to expose areas for further study and encourage research on public health issue.
