Green Tea Phenol Extracts Reduce UVB‐induced DNA Damage in Human Cells <i>via</i> Interleukin‐12<sup>†</sup>
7 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Green tea chemoprevention has been a focus of recent research, as a polyphenolic fraction from green tea (GTP) has been suggested to prevent UV radiation-induced skin cancer. Recently, it was demonstrated that GTP reduced the risk for skin cancer in a murine photocarcinogenesis model. This was accompanied by a reduction in UV-induced DNA damage. These effects appeared to be mediated via interleukin (IL)-12, which...
