Protective Mechanism of Epigallocatechin‐3‐Gallate against <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>‐Induced Gastric Epithelial Cytotoxicity via the Blockage of TLR‐4 Signaling

Abstract

EGCG pretreatment showed significant cytoprotective effects against H. pylori-induced gastric cytotoxicity via interference of the TLR-4 signaling induced by H. pylori. Thus, our result implies that continuous intakes of green tea could prevent the deleterious consequences of H. pylori infection.
