Objective: Epicatechin (EC) is one of the major components green tea catechins. This study investigated effect amount epicatechin obtained by brewing under optimal conditions against oxidative stress induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Materials and Methods: In peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), determined optimum was applied 250 µM H2O2 cell viability MTT test, total antioxidant status (TAS) oxidant (TOS) were biochemical analysis, apoptosis-related Bax, Bcl2, p53 expression analysis qRT-PCR method. Results: The significantly higher in H2O2+EC group than (p
