Effect of oral administration of green tea extract in various dosage schemes on oxidative stress status of mice in vivo by Bártíková Hana, Skálová Lenka, Valentová Kateřina, Matoušková Petra, Szotáková Barbora, Martin Jan, Kvita Vojtěch, Boušová Iva

“…Regarding antioxidant enzymes in tissues, the low dose of P had the best positive effect as it elevated the activity of NADPH quinone reductase in liver and small intestine, thioredoxin reductase in small intestine and hepatic superoxide dismutase. Based on these facts, consumption of green tea seems to be safe and beneficial, while consumption of dietary supplements containing high doses of catechins may disturb oxidative balance by lowering the activity of thioredoxin reductase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase…”
