Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of cardiac fibroids some scientists suggested.
Cardiac fibrosis is an uncommon condition of abnormal thickening of the heart valves caused by the inappropriate proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts but commonly, it is the excess deposition of molecules outside a cell or cells with structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells in the cardiac muscle, leading to cardiac dysfunction and eventually heart failure.
The study of rat cardiac fibroblasts caused by injected by angiotensin ii (AngII) also revealed that green tea inhibited the abnormal increase in level of connective tissue growth factor CTGF by decreased expression of the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunit and degradation of IκB-α in induced promotion of fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, thereby exacerbating cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent failure were attributed to bioactive polyphenol EGCG expression is significantly reduced collagen synthesis, fibronectin (FN) expression, and cell proliferation.
Indeed, due to the activity of CTGF as a matricellular protein modulating the fibrotic process in cardiac remodeling, some researchers suggested that the growth factor may be considered as a biomarker for cardiac fibrosis for therapeutic intervention to mitigate fibrosis in the heart.
Interestingly, in the evaluated the effect of GABA tea, containing a high level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in cardiac function with male Wistar rats injected with 55 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes for 2 weeks and then orally given dosages of 4.55 and 45.5 mg/kg/day GABA tea extract for 6 weeks, researchers revealed that rats treated with injection of GABA tea not only induces fasting blood glucose levels returned to normal levels but also inhibits cardiac fibrosis in compared to untreated group.
Further experiments also showed that GABA tea in ameliorated cardiac deposit risk was attributed to inhibited the protein levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Fas and activated caspase-8 and caspase-3 induced in STZ rats in mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis which has been found in elevation in patient with cardiac dysfunction such as cardiac fibrosis and an indication of chronic hemodynamic overloading and early cardiac decompensation.
Dr. Cherng SH, the lead authors suggested," (GABA tea reduced)cardiac fibrosis (expression) in diabetic rats may be mediated by reducing blood glucose and further attenuating TNF-alpha expression and/or Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)-mediated apoptosis".
Unfortunately, the injection of bioactive polyphenols (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in high dose was found to induce the opposite effect by increasing cardiac fibroids.
According to the study of green tea bioactive polyphenols (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in risk of cardiac fibroids induction of myocardial-toxicity in animal model, at the the joint study lead by the Guangzhou Medical University, injection of EGCG 500 and 1000 mg/kg demonstrated a significant effect in initiated cardiac collagen synthesis involved in the formation of filtration systems, through cells differentiation in connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA expression and protein produced by fibroblasts.
Furthermore, the application of green tea extract also displayed an exhibited fibrosis-related protein expression in the induction of cardiac fibroids deposit through stimulating the function of fibronectin (FN), a ubiquitous extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein circulated in the blood to initiated heart muscle repair.
After taking into account of other con confounders, Dr. Cai Y, the lead scientist said, "high oral doses of EGCG could induce cardiac fibrosis, and shed new light on the understanding of EGCG-mediated myocardiotoxicity".
The information findings suggested that green tea with bioactive polyphenols EGCG at a lower dose may be used as functional food in reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases caused by cardiac fibroids. Intake of green tea supplement EGCG must be taken with care as overdoses-toxicity has been reported in some cases.
