Summary of Modern Pharmacological Effects of Oolong Tea Extract
Modern research indicates that oolong tea extract, due to its unique semi-fermented processing, possesses a range of bioactivities. Key pharmacological effects include:
- Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: Its polyphenols (e.g., catechins, theaflavins) scavenge free radicals and inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators like COX-2 and iNOS.
- Anti-obesity & Metabolic Regulation: It enhances fat metabolism through the activation of AMPK, inhibits pancreatic lipase, and modulates gut microbiota.
- Anti-diabetic: Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood glucose levels via PPARγ and GLUT4 pathways.
- Cardiovascular Protection: Exhibits hypolipidemic (lowers LDL-cholesterol), anti-hypertensive, and anti-atherosclerotic effects.
- Neuroprotection: May protect neurons against oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Anti-cancer: Induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in various cancer cell lines (e.g., breast, lung, colon) in vitro and in animal models.
- Skin Health: Protects against UV-induced damage and may improve conditions like atopic dermatitis.
- Oral & Gut Health: Exhibits anti-cariogenic effects against S. mutans and promotes a healthy gut microbiome.
