Epicatechin gallate is one of the flavonoids, found in green tea and it acts as an antagonist of the mu/kappa/delta opioid receptors. Recently was studied the effect of epicatechin gallate on fructose uptake in human intestinal epithelia. Based on the result was made a conclusion, that epicatechin gallate could be a good candidate for preventing diseases caused by excessive fructose intake.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin gallate (ECG) are green tea catechins which are known as powerful antioxidants. There was examined the possible protective effects of ECG and EGCG on the neurotoxicity of acrylamide (ACR) neurotoxicity in-vitro model. PC12 cells were exposed to different concentrations of ECG and EGCG. Both ECG and EGCG (20 μM) showed inhibitory effects on ACR cytotoxicity. ACR significantly induced gait abnormalities decreased GSH level and increased lipid peroxidation in the cerebral cortex.
