Abstract

Regular green tea consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of cancer, partly via antioxidant effects of green tea in protecting cellular components against free radical. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of green tea extract (GTE) on oxidative damage to DNA in CHL cells.(omitted)
