Drinking green tea is a habit of many Asians. A recent study by the Journal of Vascular Surgery has shown that drinking green tea can prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm. More related research involving recombinant mouse proteins should be conducted.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a disease that occurs in the human aorta, leading to excessive extension and swelling of the arteries. Usually patients show no obvious symptoms of aneurysm, and they usually find the disease when the arteries rupture. If the arterial swelling can be found at an early stage, the doctor usually recommends surgery.
There are many studies confirming that drinking green tea on the human body has many benefits, such as prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation and antioxidant.
"Recent studies have shown that polyphenols existing in green tea can be used to regenerate elastins, which are essential proteins for vascular elasticity," said Shuji Setozaki, MD, and the lead author of the study.
In this study, the investigators used the drug to make the rats suffer from abdominal aortic aneurysms. Researchers have given the green tea polyphenols (the main ingredient in green tea) treated rats to develop a smaller incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms. These rats have lower levels of inflammation and higher levels of elastin and help to protect the blood vessels from destructive fate. Rats that did not receive green tea polyphenol treatment developed aneurysm, vascular rupture, and 50% of rats died.
"The lifetime of the Japanese is the longest in the world, and studies have shown that 80% of Japanese people have the habit of drinking green tea every day," says Hidetoshi Masumoto, co-author of the study. "We believe that drinking green tea every day should be considered as a new preventive measure to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysms."
