Description

The radiation protection effect and mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) were reviewed by analyzing and summarizing the literature. EGCG has a radiation protection effect on the hematopoietic system, immune system, and radiation lung injury, and its mechanism of action is related to its scavenging of free radicals, anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis and other effects.
