Alternative Therapy: Yoga In Relief of Severity, Duration & Frequency in Chronic Headache

Kyle J. Norton 

Yoga therapy may have an important role in regulated central versus peripheral mechanisms in expression of chronic headache, the study by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences suggested.

Yoga, the ancient practical technique  for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study to investigate the role of muscle spasm over activity in chronic tension type headache (CTTH) with 15 patients of CTTH and 7 age matched controls, randomized assigned to either yoga intervention or control, yoga group demonstrated a significant improvement in reduced overactivity of temporalis muscle in CTTH patients at rest in compared with control.

Furthermore after examined the the EMG records, researchers found that yoga group displayed a substantial decrease in the mean electromyography (EMG) amplitude of temporalis muscle during rest and mental activity in compared to other applications such as non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, botulinum toxin injections, and improved subjective pain scores.

EMG amplitude is medical technique in evaluation of details of the timing and magnitude of muscle activation for many muscles powering a variety of types of locomotion.

Truly, yoga breathing and relaxation reduced daily stress through calming the central nervous system by connecting the mind and body, restoring the endocrine system in hormone balancing, thus reduced production of stress hormone cortisol through bring back the present moment, while letting them go or dealing them in a profound way.

Further more, yoga postures and deep breathing ameliorated over expression of nerve neurons in transmitted information of sensation, stress, and suffering by creating a state of ease of the body and mind, and strengthening the flow of energy, thus enhancing relaxation response to pain through unraveling the mind-body samskaras.

Other, a study is conducted of 50 patients (aged 18-58 years) in a clinical diagnosis of CCTH, divided in 2 groups. with group 1 (n=30) received 8 lessons and practical demonstration of Brahmakumaris spiritual based meditation known as Rajyoga meditation for relaxation therapy, in addition to routine medical treatment (analgesics and muscle relaxants) and group 2 (n=20) patients received analgesics and muscle relaxants twice a day but no relaxation therapy in the form of meditation by the Dr. Kiran, and colleagues, to support of the effect of yoga therapy in reduced symptoms and pain in tension types of headache, after 8 weeks follow up period, scientists showed that both therapies showed a highly significant reduction in headache variables but yoga group expressed a highly significant relief of severity, duration & frequency of headache in Group 1 by 94%, 91% and 97% in compared to group 2 of 36%, 36% and 49% respectively.

The total headache relief according to headache index was 99% in yoga group  in compared to 51% in control group.

These results indicated that yoga intervention may have an acute effect in ameliorated pain in chronic tension headache.

More promisingly, in the study to provide preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of alignment-based yoga for youths with chronic headaches researchers at the joint study led by the Medical College of Wisconsin/Children's Hospital of Wisconsin found that yoga therapy may be considered pediatric headaches treatment indicated by positive parent and participant ratings of the yoga experience. 

In deed, some yoga instructors suggested that the alleviation of stress induced insomnia and swelling and constriction of the blood vessels of yoga exercise in initiation of deep sleep and in reduced tension of the blood vessels in the face and neck may also decreased pain through head muscles relaxation and revitalization and improved hypertension in blood circulation, particularly in people with chronic headache. 

The finding evidences suggested that yoga intervention may be used as an integrated form of exercise in provided relief in severity of headache, duration & frequency of chronic headache, particularly in tension types of headache.

Herbal Therapy: Green tea and Its Polyphenols in Reduced Risk, Progression, Complications and Treatment of Liver Cirrhosis

Kyle J. Norton 

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of liver cirrhosis, some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Liver cirrhosis is a condition of abnormal function of liver due to damage liver tissue replaced by scar tissue.

According to statistic, risk of liver cirrhosis is 1.6% in adult population.

Green tea polyphenols in reduced risk and treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis was found to associate to numbers of implication, involving various mechanisms.

In male SD rats model induced liver cirrhosis through carbon tetrachloride(CCL4), randomly assigned to 3 groups, including normal group, green tea extract (GTE) group and cirrhosis group, with GTE group and the cirrhosis group were injected subcutanuously 2 times/wk over 9 weeks with 40% Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), researcher found that green tea treatment groups displayed a significant reduction of concentration of  hydroxyproline, an amino acid produced during the hydrolysis of collagen initiate scar accumulation in the liver damage tissue caused by CCl4) in  compared to cirrhosis group.

Further analysis, also indicated that green tea exhibited antioxidant activities in decreased expression of malondialdehyde (MDA), a highly toxic reactive species in precipitated liver damage induced by application of carbon tetrachloride(CCL4).

Additionally, the green tea extract ameliorated the liver damage cell in formation of cirrhosis through attenuating the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 or TGF-β1 in initiated cell growth, cell proliferation.

In differentiation of 11 patients with hepatitis C and detectable viremia of 4 Child-Pugh (CP) class A cirrhosis, 4 Child-Pugh class B cirrhosis, and 3 noncirrhotic, researchers at the Thomas Jefferson University indicated that injection of a single oral dose of green tea extract 400 mg containing 94% pure EGCG demonstrated a strong effect in reduced cirrhosis over expression in induction of liver tumor growth by inhibiting the virus hepatitis in facilitate the production of ROS species through chronic liver inflammation, according to the blood sample withdrawn from the patients without inducing liver toxicity.

Dr. Halegoua-De Marzio D, after taking into account of other con founders said, "A single 400-mg oral dose of EGCG was safe and well tolerated by all of the patients in the study" and disposition of EGCG was not significantly altered in these patients with cirrhosis".

Interestingly, in the concern of abnormal angiogenesis in patients with liver cirrhosis in induction of severe complications such as variceal haemorrhage and encephalopathy, Dr. Hsu SJ and colleges conducted a study to investigate the effect of green tea extract in Spraqtue-Dawley rats liver induced in by common BDL (bile duct ligation) in compared to control given distill water for 28 days and found that group treated with green tea extract expressed a strong implication in ameliorated the severity of portosystemic shunting, a rare malformation of the vessels supplying blood to the liver caused by excessive shunting of blood from the liver portal vein to the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart due to liver cirrhosis in induction portal hypertension and one of complication of variceal haemorrhage in patient with chronic liver cirrhosis and mesenteric angiogenesis in development of new blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to initiate liver cancer.

Moreover, the effect of green tea GTP extract in reduced progression of liver cirrhosis was attributed to the suppression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) in expression of liver disease of diverse etiologies, including chronic liver diseases caused by viral infection, excessive alcohol consumption and activation of protein kinase B (Akt) in regulated infectious liver cell survival, cell-cycle progression,... and levels of VEGF in reflection of increased portal hypertension or decreased hepatic regenerative activity or the combination of both.

Dr.Hsu SJ,  the lead author said after the conclusion, "GTP appears to be an appropriate agent in controlling portal hypertension-related complications via anti-angiogenesis.

Taken together, Green tea extract containing major polyphenols such as EGCG may be considered as a functional food in reduced risk, progression, complications and treatment of liver cirrhosis. Intake of green tea supplement should be taken with special care to prevent acute toxicity.

Food Therapy: Eggplant in Ameliorated Risk and Treatment of Liver Cancer

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, All right reserved)

Eggplant may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of liver cancer, some scientists suggested.

Eggplant is a species of S. melongena with deeply purple color, belongings to the family Solanaceae and native to India, cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory.

Liver cancer is medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the issues of liver. At the later stage, the cancerous cell may travel a distance away to invade other healthy tissue and organs.

According to statistic, approximately 40,710 new cases (29,200 in men and 11,510 in women) of liver cancer and and intrahepatic bile duct cancer will be diagnosed in US 2017.

Glycoalkaloids (α-solamargine and α-solasonine), nitrogen-containing secondary plant metabolites found in eggplants and numerous Solanaceous plants including potatoes, and tomatoes expressed a strong inhibition of the growth of the liver tumor cells in culture and tumor growth in vivo.

More specifically, α-solamargine and α-solasonine induced apoptosis in cancer cells but not normal cells through functions in eliminated  old cells, unnecessary cells, unhealthy cells and cancer cells without causing  harm to healthy cells in the surrounding area. 

Further differentiation, also suggested that α-solamargine also suppressed liver cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis through cell cycle arrest.

Additionally, in HCT-116 cell line, anthocyanins isolated from eggplant displayed  a substantial antioxidant effect in inhibited reactive oxygen species(ROS) expression in promoting oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in induction of healthy cellular DNA damage in initiated early onset of liver cancer.

In compared to anthocyanins, administration of nasunin with glycosylation on C3 and C5 and an acyl group (p-coumaric acid) derivatives demonstrated the least effect on ROS reduction but exhibited ROS over expression in induction of cytotoxicity in colon cell lines, thus ameliorating tumor proliferation and site expansion, according to microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay.

Further differentiation, also indicated that nasunin and its deacylated derivatives protected healthy  cells from DNA damage through antioxidant capacity in a dose-dependent manner.

Importantly, in the valuations carried out with four concentrations each (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 microg/mL) of the the potato trisaccharide glycoalkaloids alpha-chaconine and alpha-solanine; the disaccharides beta(1)-chaconine, beta(2)-chaconine, and beta(2)-solanine; the monosaccharide gamma-chaconine and their common aglycon solanidine; the tetrasaccharide potato glycoalkaloid dehydrocommersonine; the potato aglycon demissidine; the tetrasaccharide tomato glycoalkaloid alpha-tomatine, the trisaccharide beta(1)-tomatine, the disaccharide gamma-tomatine, the monosaccharide delta-tomtine, and their common aglycon tomatidine, and the eggplant glycoalkaloids solamargine and solasonine and their common aglycon solasodine; and the nonsteroidal alkaloid jervine, researchers found that the glycoalkaloids isolated from all vegetables demonstrated as the most active compound in inhibited liver cancer in compared to colon cells.

In compared to anticancer drugs doxorubicin and camptothecin, all isolated compounds also exerted significant activity in decreased cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in concentration dependent manner.

Taking altogether, eggplant with abundant bioactive phytochemicals may be considered as a functional food used as secondary therapy to reduce risk and in combination of with standard chemo medicine for treatment of liver cancer.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea and Lower Dose of Its Bioactive Polyphenols (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in Reduced Cardiac Fibrosis in Induction of Heart Failure

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrition, All right reserved)

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of cardiac fibroids some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Cardiac fibrosis is a uncommon condition of abnormal thickening of the heart valves caused by inappropriate proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts but commonly, it is the excess deposition of molecules outside a cell or cells with structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells in the cardiac muscle, leading to cardiac dysfunction and eventually heart failure.

The study of rat cardiac fibroblasts caused by injected by angiotensinII (AngII) also revealed that green tea inhibited the abnormal increase in level of connective tissue growth factor CTGF by decreased expression of the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunit and degradation of IκB-α in induced promotion of fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, thereby exacerbating cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent failure were attributed to bioactive polyphenol EGCG expression in significantly reduced collagen synthesis, fibronectin (FN) expression and cell proliferation.

In deed, due to the activity of CTGF as a matricellular protein modulating the fibrotic process in cardiac remodelling, some researchers suggested that the gowth factor may be considered as a biomarker for cardiac fibrosis for therapeutic intervention to mitigate fibrosis in the heart.

Interestingly, in the evaluated the effect of GABA tea, containing a high level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in cardiac function with male Wistar rats injected with 55 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes for 2 weeks and then orally given dosages of 4.55 and 45.5 mg/kg/day GABA tea extract for 6 weeks, researchers revealed that rats treated with injection of GABA tea not only induces fasting blood glucose levels returned to normal levels but also inhibits cardiac fibrosis in compared to untreated group.

Further experiments also showed that GABA tea in ameliorated cardiac deposit risk was attributed to inhibited the protein levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Fas and activated caspase-8 and caspase-3 induced in STZ rats in mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis which has been found in elevation in patient with cardiac dysfunction such as cardiac fibrosis and an indication of chronic hemodynamic overloading and early cardiac decompensation.

Dr. Cherng SH, the lead authors suggested," (GABA tea reduced)cardiac fibrosis (expression) in diabetic rats may be mediated by reducing blood glucose and further attenuating TNF-alpha expression and/or Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)-mediated apoptosis".

Unfortunately, injection of  bioactive polyphenols (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in high dose was found to induce the oppositely effect by increasing cardiac fibroids.

According to the study of green tea bioactive polyphenols (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in  risk of cardiac fibroids induction of myocardiotoxicity in animal model, at the the joint study lead by the Guangzhou Medical University, injection of EGCG 500 and 1000 mg/kg demonstrated a significant effect in initiated cardiac collagen synthesis involved in the formation of filtration systems, through cells differentiation in connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA expression and protein produced by fibroblasts.

Further more, the application of green tea extract also displayed an exhibited fibrosis-related protein expression in induction of cardiac fibroids deposit through stimulating function of fibronectin (FN), a ubiquitous extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein circulated in the blood to initiated heart muscle repair.

After taking into account of other con confounders, Dr. Cai Y, the lead scientist said, "high oral doses of EGCG could induce cardiac fibrosis, and shed new light on the understanding of EGCG-mediated myocardiotoxicity".

The information findings suggested that green tea with bioactive poluphenols EGCG at lower dose may be used as function food in reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases caused by cardiac fibroids. In take of green tea supplement EGCG mus be taken with care as overdoses-toxicity has been reported in some cases.

Herbal Therapy: Green tea and Its Bioactive Polyphenols in Ameliorated Risk Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) Infection

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrition, All right reserved)

Green and black tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk of HIV 1 infection, some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) is one of  2 types of HIV precipitated of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), transmitted through direct contact with HIV-infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and genital secretions,....

According to statistic, approximately 36.7 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS in 2016, including, 2.1 million of children less than 15 years of age.

According to the investigation of Theaflavins, the major components of tea polyphenols extracted from brewed black tea and green tea inhibited inhibited HIV-1 entry by targeting gp41 which is a transmembrane protein with function in embedded with outer coat of HIV to enter and infected host cells.

However, due to the unstable and purified of the individual theaflavins, natural preparation containing 90% of theaflavins (TFmix) in most study was used to experiment of its effect against HIV-1 microbide for preventing HIV sexual transmission.

In vitro using p24 production and luciferase assays, TFmix exhibited potent anti-HIV-1 activity on lab-adapted and primary HIV-1 strains with IC(50), the concentration of an application that gives half-maximal response in dose of less than 1.20 μM, through targeting the gp41 in inhibited virus-host membrane fusion during infection mediated by the formation of six helix bundle (6HB). 

In other words, theaflavins administration was found to initiate potent anti-HIV-1 activity by targeting the viral entry step through the disruption of gp41 6-HB core structure,

Further more, application of  theaflavins (TFmix) also inhibited reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, an RNA-dependent DNA, which is the process in replication of RNA from a DNA template through polymerase (DNAP) enzyme in forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules, with the IC(50) about 8-fold higher of theaflavins (TFmix) concentration than that for inhibiting gp41 6-HB formation.

In peptide fragments, derived from prostatic acidic phosphatase secreted in large amounts into human semen to form amyloid fibrils plaques with function to induced viral infection (SEVI), through capturing the HIV virions and direct them to target cells into liver cell to initiated entry step, during sexual activity, injection of green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) inhibited the expression of SEVI and revoked semen in mediated enhancement of HIV-1 infection through precipitated viral degradation without induced healthy cell toxicity.

Further analysis of green tea EGCG activity using HIV-1 infectivity on human CD4+ T cells, at a physiologic concentration of 6μM, EGCG significantly inhibited HIV-1 p24 antigen production in expression of acute infection in both HIV-1 clinical isolates and laboratory-adapted subtypes B C, D, and G.

Particularly, EGCG-induced inhibition of HV-1 infectivity was not due to cytotoxicity, cell growth inhibition, nor apoptosis but blocking the HIV activity in attachment of HIV-1-gp120, a glycoprotein exposed on the surface of the HIV envelope to the CD4 molecule in the entry point in initiated infectivity.

Dr. Christina L., the lead author concluded, "(by) preventing the attachment of HIV-1-gp120 to the CD4 molecule, EGCG inhibits HIV-1 infectivity. As this inhibition can be achieved at physiologic concentrations, the natural anti-HIV agent, EGCG, is a candidate as an alternative therapy in HIV-1 therapy".

The information findings suggested that green tea with abundant bioactive polyphenols Theaflavins including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) may be considered as a function food to ameliorated risk of HIV 1 infection by blocking the complex process in initiation.

Weight Loss Experts Are Baffled of Losing 14 Lbs in 14 days

By Ancient African Red Tea Recipe & Its Fat Melting Powers

Yoga intervention may have a profound effect in reduced risk of giving birth of an intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) infant, particularly in high risk women, the study by the Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (sVYASA) postulated.

Intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR) is a condition characterized by smaller unborn baby due to not growing at a normal rate inside the womb.

Yoga, the practical ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In a prospective, matched, observational study of a total of 121 women attending antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital (GSMH) in Bangalore, India, enrolled between 18-20 weeks of pregnancy with women assigned to the yoga group (including physical postures, breathing and meditation were practised by the yoga group, one hour daily, from the date of entry into the study until delivery period) and 53 women to the control group (walked half an hour twice a day during the study), researchers found that yoga group scores a significant higher in giving birth to a baby of normal birth-weight, as well as decreasing complications of pregnancy in compared to control group.

Indeed, growth of the baby depends upon the diet of pregnant women, expecting mom’s physical health as well as providing nutrients to the baby needed.

Yoga breathing and relaxation reduced daily and pregnancy stress through calming the central nervous system by connecting the mind and body, bringing back the present moment while letting go of them or deal them in the positive way.
Further more, the relaxation of psychological aspect also decreased the hormone expression during pregnancy in induced psychological symptoms to the expect mother, thus ameliorating mood swings caused by stress, fatigue and attenuating negative influence to the natural response of the body to increase circulation of blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to the womb for the baby to grow naturally.

Additionally, in the review literature published on the PubMed database from January 1970 to January 2011 to evaluate the peripartum outcomes of yoga during pregnancy, including the postpartum period and lactation, five prospective observational studies (n = 575) and three randomized clinical trials (RCTs; n = 298), met the criteria and guidelines were selected in the analysis, after taking into account of other co founders, researchers found that yoga intervention  significantly lowered pain and discomfort (p < 0.05) and perceived stress (p = 0.001) and improved quality of life in physical domains.

Many pregnant women experience lower back pain as well as neck and muscle tension as the result of the body trying to cope the growth of the fetus and expansion of uterus. Yoga mind-body practices that cultivated general health, diminished distress, increased self-awareness and mind relaxation also  calm the nervous tension and bring back the self consciousness of the mother hood, thus reducing pain caused psychological stress and dealing the physical pain in active and positive ways.

Additional differentiation also found that yoga breathing exercises to relax the body and help free the mind of worries and distractions, thus promoting blood to circulate in the uterus and creating a space for the baby to grow, improving self consciousness of being motherhood in reduction of psychological and physical discomfort.

Some researchers also suggested that maternal yoga participation not only relieves physical pain such as upper and back pain but also alleviates anxiety around labor and builds strength in the legs to prepare for the date of labor.

More profoundly, in the total of 335 women attending the antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital in Bangalore, India, enrolled between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy in a prospective, matched, observational study with 169 women in the yoga group and 166 women in the control group, researchers found that yoga group expressed improvement of all aspects in compared to control, including higher number of babies with normal birth weight > or = 2500 grams, reduced significant cases of preterm labor and complications of isolated intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (p < 0.003) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) with associated IUGR (p < 0.025) in compared to control.

The findings suggested that yoga therapy is safe and may be used as integrated approach during pregnancy to decreases IUGR either in isolation or associated with PIH, with no increased risk of complications.

Herbal Therapy: Green Tea and Its Bioactive Polyphenols Epigallocatechin-3 Gallate (EGCG) in Attenuated Risk and Treatment of Hepatitis B

Kyle J. Norton 

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of hepatitis B, some scientists suggested.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection of acute and chronic liver disease, caused by a double stranded DNA virus HBV transmitted through infected blood, semen, or other body fluid.

According to the statistic, positive carriers among Canadian is estimated to be 0.5% to 1.0%., depending to ethnicity.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

According to the evaluation of the effect of green tea bioactive polyphenos epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) and risk of hepatitis B, application of the phytochemical  inhibited HBV replication in the testing Hep3B2.1-7 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, through a significant effect in reduced prevalence of liver damage caused by hepatitis B virus.

Interesting, injection of EGCG  at the dose of less than 100 μM in the observed liver cancer cell line showed no effect in induced cell apoptosis and decreased proliferation but exhibited a strong effect in ameliorated expression of surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) and antigen of hepatitis B virus circulated in infected blood (HBeAg) levels found by the ELISA method and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)assay.

Further differentiation in different HepG2 2.2.15 cells to compare the effective of green tea with standard antiretroviral medication lamivudine (3TC), researchers indicated that administration of EGCG shows a significant inhibition of viral proliferation through attenuated expression of levels of HBsAg and HBeAg in the supernatant and extracellular HBV DNA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. At doses of 50-200 μg/ml EGCG displayed strong effects in compared to lamivudine (3TC) at dose of 200 μg/ml.

More importantly, application of EGCG also suppressed the extracellular HBV DNA, a nutrient source for viral cell proliferation and survival through attachment, aggregation, and stabilization of microcolonies.

The results of the experiments pointed out that green tea EGCG consists a potential anti-HBV activity with low toxicity.

Additional investigation of green tea EGCG effect in the early stages of infection caused by four different Hepatitis B virus genotypes A and D also found that at dose of more than 80%, the phyochemical inhibited both DMSO-differentiated HuS-E/2 cells and HA-NTCP-expressing Huh7 cells involved cancer cell process in early stage of proliferation through induced protein degradation and ameliorated serum of tansferrin.(the iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids)which isconsidered as a liver fibrosis biomarker in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

However, Treatment of cells with EGCG had no effect on HBV genome replication or virion secretion and the characteristic of HBV virion and the expression of known HBV entry factors were unaltered out side of the host before attacking the liver tissue.

All these results suggested that the green tea-derived molecule EGCG potently inhibits HBV entry and could be used in prevention and treatment of Hepatitis B. Intake of green tea supplement should be taken with to prevent overdoses cause of acute liver toxicity.
