Abstract

Amyloid beta ( $A{\beta}$ )-induced neurotoxicity is a major pathological mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of L-theanine, a component of green tea (Camellia sinensis) on $A{\beta}_{1-42}$ -induced neurotoxicity and oxidative damages of macromolecules. L-theanine inhibited $A{\beta}_{1-42}$ -induced generation of reactive oxygen species, and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 mitogenic activated protein kinase as well as the activity of nuclear factor kappa-B. L-theanine also signifi cantly reduced oxidative protein and lipid damage, and elevated glutathione level. Consistent with the reduced neurotoxic signals, L-theanine (10-50 ${\mu}g$ /ml) concomitantly attenuated $A{\beta}_{1-42}$ (5 ${\mu}M$ )-induced neurotoxicity in SK-N-MC and SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells. These data indicate that L-theanine on $A{\beta}$ -induced neurotoxicity prevented oxidative damages of neuronal cells, and may be useful in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease like AD.

  • Theanine protects neural damage and improves function by reducing cerebral infarction through inhibiting catalase, superoxide dismutase, and succinate dehydrogenase activity, thus reducing GSH and oxidative damage of neuronal cells.

    “Theanine helps to protect neural damage and improve function by reduction of cerebral infarction by inhibiting different neurological functions like catalase, superoxide dismutase, and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, thus reduces GSH and oxidative damage of neuronal cells [36][37][38] .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
