[0011] Scientists already know that green tea contains anti-oxidants, which may have a protective effect against cancer. But now they have discovered that chemicals in the tea also shut down a key molecule that can play a significant role in the development of cancer.
[0012] The molecule, known as the aryl hydrocarbon (AH) receptor, has the ability to activate genes—but not always in a positive way. Tobacco smoke and dioxins in particular, disrupt the functioning of the molecule and cause it to trigger potentially harmful gene activity.
[0013] The researchers, from Rochester University, found that two chemicals in green tea inhibit AH activity. Both chemicals are similar to compounds called flavonoids, which are found in broccoli, cabbage, grapes and red wine, and which are also known to help prevent cancer. Researcher Professor Thomas Gasiewicz showed that the chemicals, Catechins and Flavonoids, shut down the AH receptor in cancerous mouse cells. Early results indicate the same is...
