SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. Processed from the leaf of Camellia sinensis, teas contain a large number of phytochemicals including four catechins; epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These catechins are at much higher levels in green tea compared to black tea. Over the last 20 years tea catechins have shown the potential for use as an adjunct therapy for a number of diseases including diabetes and cancer. This chapter will discuss the potential of green tea catechins in cancer prevention and as an adjunct to chemotherapy. Including the potential molecular mechanisms believed to be involved in regulating cancers.
