Multifaceted neuroprotective effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in Alzheimer’s disease: an overview of pre-clinical studies focused on β-amyloid peptide by Kumju Youn, Chi-Tang Ho, Mira Jun

“…Many lines of evidence indicate that excessive β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) generation and aggregation play pivotal roles in the initiation of AD, leading to various biochemical alteration including oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, signaling pathway and finally resulting in neuronal death. AD has a complex pathogenic mechanism, and a single-target approach for anti-AD strategy is thus full of challenges. …”
