[1.2] [#Catechins, #Lipopolysaccharide] - A major green tea catechin, #Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has many neuroprotective abilities, neuroinflammation being just one of them. Pretreatment of outbred ICR mice with EGCG for 3 weeks (1.5 and 3 mg/kg/day) prior to LPS injection for 7 days prevented the LPS-induced memory impairment and apoptotic neuronal cell death. [1.3] - tea #Polyphenols (TP) significantly decreases the #Firmicutes/#Bacteroidetes ratio. - Suppression of #Firmicutes by tea #Polyphenols and their metabolites favors #Bacteroidetes in the gut of mice, indicating that tea #Polyphenols has a modulatory effect on the composition of the intestinal microbiota.
