Green tea catechins are potent anti-oxidants that ameliorate sodium iodate-induced retinal degeneration in rats
Green tea extracts exhibit anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory actions in different disease conditions. We hypothesized that green tea extract and its catechin constituents ameliorate sodium iodate-induced retinal degeneration in rats by counteracting oxidative stress. In this study, adult Sprague-...
