Summary:
- Researchers have identified that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a bioactive polyphenol found in green tea, can mitigate cognitive decline and neuroinflammation induced by a high-fat diet.
- The study, conducted on mice, demonstrated that EGCG supplementation helps prevent obesity-related hippocampal damage by modulating the gut-brain axis and reducing oxidative stress.
