Interindividual Differences in Human in vitro Intestinal Microbial Conversion of Green Tea ( ‐)‐Epigallocatechin‐3‐O‐gallate and Consequences for Activation of Nrf2 Mediated Gene Expression

Conclusions: Given these results and taking the level of formation into account, it is concluded that especially gallic acid and pyrogallol contribute to the EpRE ‐mediated beneficial effects of EGCG. The interindividual differences in their formation may result in interindividual differences in the beneficial effects of EGCG and green tea consumption.This article is protected by copyright.
