Disruptive effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate on the proliferation/ apoptosis balance in the olfactory epithelium

The polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is the main active catechin of the green tea. It exerts a wide range of biochemical and pharmacological effects on different animal cells. EGCG acts as a scavenger of growth factors and it was demonstrated its antiproliferative and proapoptotic role...
