(+)-Catechin, an Ingredient of Green Tea, Protects Murine Microglia From Oxidative Stress-Induced DNA Damage and Cell Cycle Arrest

Extracts of Chinese herbs have been demonstrated to inhibit oxidative stress in vitro. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of (+)-catechin, isolated from green tea, which preserved murine microglia N9 cells from an oxidative agent tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP)-induced cell death. (+)-Catec...
