Recently, we have shown that green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) exerts a beneficial role on reducing brain Abeta levels, resulting in mitigation of cerebral amyloidosis mouse model Alzheimer disease. EGCG seems to accomplish this by modulating amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing, enhanced cleavage the alpha-COOH-terminal fragment (alpha-CTF) APP and corresponding elevation NH(2)-terminal product, soluble APP-alpha (sAPP-alpha). These effects were associated...
