Green tea may prevent Parkinson's disease

Green tea's "contribution" to human health has a new explanation On June 24 last year, our newspaper said that the culprit of smoking is not nicotine - scientists found that tea is the "natural enemy" of tobacco The internationally renowned academic journal Biological Psychiatry recently published the research results of the research group composed of Professor Zhao Baolu of the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 10 pages: tea polyphenol is used for the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease induced by 6-OHDA The journal, which is very authoritative in the field of biopsychology, also published a special press release for this paper entitled "green tea may prevent brain cells from suffering from Parkinson's disease" It was found that the function of tea polyphenols is well known, and it is good for health to drink West Lake Longjing green tea often The question is: can West Lake Longjing green tea also protect brain cells? This is possible, according to new research published in biopsychology In a Parkinson's disease animal model, members of the research team studied the function of tea polyphenol, a natural chemical in plants The results showed that tea polyphenol has the properties of antioxidation and the function of protecting dopamine neurons The absence of brain cells differentiated from dopamine neurons is the "culprit" of Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, and no treatment has been found The study also showed that tea polyphenols provide a protective umbrella for dopamine neurons by inhibiting ros-no pathway, which may lead to cell death in Parkinson's disease Animal model experiments have been started In view of the popularity of green tea drinks around the world, the public are interested in the health care function of green tea For this reason, the editor of biopsychology pointed out that there have been many similar studies in the past that confirmed the health care effect of natural substances, but failed to carry out strict clinical research Therefore, it is very important for researchers to start to identify the protective mechanism of tea polyphenols on dopamine neurons in animal models this time Future research needs to be clear: whether this "umbrella" works in the human world The research team, led by Professor Zhao Baolu, who made the cigarette tea filter, has previously tried to hold up the "umbrella" of green tea for tobacco and applied for a patent for the tea filter It turns out that green tea not only has a broad-spectrum function of sterilization and detoxification, but also can cure the harmful components in cigarette smoke When the tea is made into tea filter, and the cigarette with such filter is ignited, the main harmful substances in the smoke are obviously "reduced" The aroma substances in tea can also "make" aroma, which has anti-inflammatory effect on the mouth and upper respiratory tract of smokers.
