Polymeric black tea polyphenols (PBPs) inhibit benzo(a)pyrene and 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone induced lung carcinogenesis potentially through down‐regulation of p38 and Akt phosphorylation in A/J mice

ConclusionsPBPs, most abundant polyphenolic component in the black tea, have chemopreventive effect through inhibition of inflammation, cellular proliferation and induction of apoptosis possibly via modulation of signaling kinases. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
