Tea Extracts Reduce Skin Damage Due to Radiotherapy
Tea has already been repeatedly suggested to help prevent cancer, for instance in gall bladder, but a recent study that tea is so powerful, it can even help reduce skin damages in cancer patients who are undergoing radiochemotherapy when applied topically.
Tea extracts supported the restitution of skin integrity. Tea extracts inhibited proteasome function and suppressed cytokine release. NF-kappaB activity was altered by tea extracts in a complex, caspase-dependent manner, which differed from effects of epigallocatechin-gallate. Additionally, both tea extracts as well as epigallocatechin-gallate slightly protected macrophages from ionizing radiation.
