Listen "Green Tea EGCG vs. Pesticides: EGCG Saves the Day in Zebrafish Study. Podcast 014"
Episode Synopsis
In this video, we explore the potential of green tea, specifically EGCG, to combat the harmful effects of organophosphate pesticides (OPs).
OPs disrupt the crucial enzyme ACE, leading to neurological issues and long-term risks like Alzheimer's. Researchers conducted a study using zebrafish, finding that EGCG reversed the enzyme inhibition caused by OPs, increasing enzyme activity by over 50%. EGCG competes with OPs for binding sites on the ACE enzyme, acting as a protective shield.
This research highlights the promising protective effects of EGCG from green tea against pesticide exposure, offering a potential solution to mitigate health risks.
