Tea extract helps to repair the damaged muscles after chemotherapy

Researchers at the University of California, David Geffen School of Medicine recently (at least 2007 - editor's note) conducted a new study that showed that the juice extracted from tea can help repair the damaged skin after chemotherapy, which also made the researchers more aware of the reasons for the damage caused by chemotherapy to the skin The researchers point out that the damage caused by chemotherapy to the skin may also affect the effect of cancer treatment Lead researcher Frank Pajarnc said: "if you want to get the best results from cancer treatment, you need to solve the problem of skin damage due to chemotherapy first, so this finding makes sense." "Tea extract has always been a good way for people to treat sunburn injured skin, which is also the motivation for us to study whether it has therapeutic effect on chemotherapy injured skin," payenk said As a result, we found that the role of tea in this area is really amazing " In an article published in the Journal of BMC medicine, the researchers said they analyzed the healing effect of tea extracts extracted from green tea and black tea on chemotherapy damaged skin In the study, they asked 60 patients with neck and pelvis cancer who suffered from skin damage due to chemotherapy to receive tea extracts It was found that this treatment promoted the repair of damaged skin in these patients Green tea and black tea have the same effect on the repair of damaged skin in head and neck, but the effect of green tea is much more obvious than black tea on the repair of damaged skin in pelvis Payenk explained that the reason why tea extract can help repair the skin damaged by chemotherapy is that tea extract has the effect of weakening a key human signal that may cause skin inflammation, that is, the ingredients contained in tea extract can reduce the number of several cells that cause skin inflammation However, the researchers also found that although the most active ingredient in green tea is the antioxidant green tea element, the anti-inflammatory effect of the tea extract is not entirely due to this substance.
