Theanine supplementation prevents liver injury and heat shock response by normalizing hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis hyperactivity in mice subjected to whole body heat stress
Thermal stress evokes heat shock response and activates hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis. Additionally, liver injury is an important adverse effect of thermal stress. Considering the anti-stress effects of theanine, an amino acid found in tea plants, we hypothesized that theanine may protect...
