Epigallocatechin Gallate Protects against MNNG-Induced Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Carcinoma in Rats via PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway

Abstract

EGCG ameliorated pathological lesions of PLGC and exerted the effect of apoptosis promotion in PLGC rats. The apoptotic pathway triggered by EGCG may be related to inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. It provided a theoretical basis for the PLGC treatment and gastric cancer prevention.
