Green Tea in Ameliorating the Onset, Progression and Treatment of Juvenile Arthritis

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced prevalence, progression and treatment of juvenile arthritis, some scientists suggested.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.

Juvenile arthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting the synovium in children aged 16 or younger.

According to the statistic, the most common form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), affects over 50,000 children in the United States alone.

In the investigation of the effect of green tea extract on the oxidative state of the liver and brain of adjuvant-induced arthritic rats, a model for human rheumatoid arthritis with daily doses of 250 mg kg(-1) (59.8 mg catechins per kg) for 23 days, researchers at the State University of Maringá, found that treatment group expressed a significant activity in reduced the protein and lipid damage in liver, brain, and plasma, caused by ROS expression in induction of oxidation which have been found to associated to the progression of arthritis.

Injection of green tea extract also enhanced the overexpression of antioxidant defenses, found in low levels in patients with arthritis through restoration of the glutathione (GSH) with important function in preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species and protein thiol levels in reduced cellular oxidation through chelative and detoxified activities and improved the natural antioxidant enzymes, produced by the body.

Furthermore, green tea extract also inhibited the levels of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is increased in the liver, one of major risk factor for the development of arthritis.

These results suggested that the application of green tea exerted a significantly profound effect on the liver and brain of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis through reduced overexpression of oxidative stress in precipitated injury to lipids and proteins.


Some researchers suggested that by modifying the metabolic function in lipid and protein, green tea extract exhibited a strong protective effect in reduced the symptoms and progression of arthritis.

According to the study of University of Health System of green tea effect in patient with rheumatoid
arthritis, injection of green tea extract demonstrated a therapeutic effect in patients synovial fibroblast
of the lining of the tissue which surround the capsule of the joint by inhibited the production of IL-1B, a prototypic proinflammatory cytokines in response to acute and chronic inflammation. Overexpression of IL-1B is associated in contribution of joint damage.

Interestingly, in the study of adolescent male Wistar rats 12-week exposure to Cd and Pb (7mg Cd and 50mg Pb in 1kg of the diet randomly assigned to 12 to each group, as positive control received without Cd, Pb and teas, a negative control group received Cd and Pb, and groups supplemented additionally with green (GT), black (BT), red (RT), and white tea (WT), researchers indicated that application of tea significant inhibits the decreased levels of the geometric(shape) and densitometric(density) parameters and total thickness of articular cartilage caused by Cd and Pb in compared to the negative control group.

Tea injection group also displayed a huge improvement in mechanical endurance, growth plate thickness, and trabecular histomorphometry depending on the tea type.

Due to limitation of the study, Dr. Tomaszewska E, the lead researcher said, " It is difficult to indicate which tea has the best protective effects on bone and hyaline cartilage against heavy metal action".

More importantly, in the examine some major factors in contributed to the juvenile arthritis, green tea rich in catechins (Healthy green tea) in animal study restored these biomarkers of cytokine genes (IL-1A, IL-2, IFN-alpha, FGF-alpha, TNF-alpha) to near-normal levels, thus preventing or attenuating the development of a certain type of inflammatory arthritis.


Taken together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols may be considered as a functional food for reduced early-onset, progression and combined with standard therapy for the treatment of juvenile and adult arthritis. However, the intake of green tea supplement should be taken with exceptional care as acute liver toxicity has been reported in numbers of medical literature.
