Original title: Research by Wan Xiaochun's team from Anhui Agricultural University found that drinking green tea may prevent and delay Alzheimer's

With the aging of the population, neurodegenerative diseases represented by Alzheimer disease (AD) are showing a rapid and high incidence trend

Recently, Anhui Agricultural University tea biological science and resource utilization state's key experiments room (Anhui laboratory) Professor Wan Xiaochun and China Cooperative Research University of Science and Technology Professor Shen Yong team found that green tea can prevent and delay 5XFAD transgenic mouse brain β starch Formation of Aβ -like protein , reduce nerve synapse damage and improve learning and memory ability

The study used green tea extract (GTE) to intervene in human-derived amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin (PS1) double transgenic 5XFAD mice.

PhD candidates Kan Zhipeng and Associate Professor Wang Yijun of the State Key Laboratory of Tea Tree Biology and Resource Utilization are the co-first authors of the paper, and Professor Wan Xiaochun and Associate Researcher Gao Feng of the University of Science and Technology of China are the corresponding authors of the paper
