Journal ArticleDOI
Intake of potentially anticarcinogenic flavonoids and their determinants in adults in the Netherlands
TL;DR: The use of new analytic technology suggests that in the past flavonoid intake has been overestimated fivefold, but on a milligram-per-day basis, the intake of the antioxidant flavonoids still exceeded that of the antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin E.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary flavonoids: effects on xenobiotic and carcinogen metabolism.
TL;DR: The cancer protective effects of flavonoids have been attributed to a wide variety of mechanisms, including modulating enzyme activities resulting in the decreased carcinogenicity of xenobiotics and phase II enzymes, largely responsible for the detoxification of carcinogens.

Beneficial effects of green tea: A literature review
TL;DR: Long-term consumption of tea catechins could be beneficial against high-fat diet-induced obesity and type II diabetes and could reduce the risk of coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-diabetic activity of green tea polyphenols and their role in reducing oxidative stress in experimental diabetes
TL;DR: The results indicate that alterations in the glucose utilizing system and oxidation status in rats increased by alloxan were partially reversed by the administration of the glutamate pyruvate transaminase.

Tea in chemoprevention of cancer
Santosh K. Katiyar,Hasan Mukhtar +1 more
TL;DR: Based on available information, epidemiologic and experimental studies are ongoing to draw the possible relationship between tea consumption and cancer causation and prevention and Appropriate strategies for future clinical chemoprevention trials to translate animal data to human cancer risk are warranted.

Identification of candidate cancer chemopreventive agents and their evaluation in animal models and human clinical trials: a review.
TL;DR: Positive results observed include 4-hydroxyphenyl retinamide plus tamoxifen in breast cancer, piroxicam in colon cancer, dimethylfluoroornithine in breast and bladder cancer, oltipraz in lung cancer, dehydroepiandrosterone in Colon cancer, and molybdate in bladder cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary inhibitors of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.
TL;DR: In this chapter, inhibitors of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis that can arise as components of diet have been reviewed and most of the inhibitors have been demonstrated to be effective against a specific class of mutagens or carcinogens.

Detection and chemical identification of natural bio-antimutagens. A case of the green tea factor.
TL;DR: A bio-antimutagen, isolated from Japanese green tea (leaves of Camellia sinensis), reduced high spontaneous mutations due to altered DNA-polymerase III in a mutator strain of Bacillus subtilis.
