GREEN TEA PROTECT THE BRAIN FROM OXYGEN DEFICIENCY

You the fans of green tea should be grateful because the compounds
found in green tea may protect the brain from the effects of sleep
disorder that results in snoring and stopped breathing.
Components or yag active substance found in green tea may ward off
allegedly due to nerve damage breathing disorder that occurs in those
who experience sleep disorders (sleep apnea disorder). Thus a study of
animals.
The scientists found that when they add the antioxidants contained in
green tea beverages given to the mice appeared content of these
chemicals protect the brain these animals when deprived of oxygen that
is designed similar to the symptoms that occur from the effects of
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or sleep disturbance.
This finding suggests that components of green tea should be taken
into account for further investigation because of potential as a
therapy for this sleep disorder (OSA), the scientists reported in the
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
OSA is a temporary disruption that occurred in the soft tissue throat.
These disorders cause obstruction of breathing route during sleep. As
a result, there was briefly stopped breathing during sleep several
times during the night.
Symptoms usually appear immediately a loud snoring sound that lasted
chronic and panting and occurs not only during sleep that night, but
also during naps. If not handled properly, OSA may cause disruption in
the body, such as increased blood pressure. Moreover, the lack of
oxygen supply to the brain can result in memory disorders. Thus
disclosed Dr. David Gozal and colleagues at the University of
Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky.
However, it turns out, according to David, a component in green tea
called catechin polyphenols appears to protect the brain from lack of
oxygen. Catechin polyphenols act as antioxidants. That is, these
elements help to neutralize the particles damaged cells from free
radicals. Free radicals are a byproduct of metabolism caused when
excessive oxidative stress.
Lack of oxygen also causes oxidative stress that cause cognitive
problems in those who experience sleep disturbance.
Gozal and his colleagues found that when the rats were experiencing a
crisis due to lack of oxygen for more than 14 days of sign that is
going on oxidative stress in the brain, and brain protection function
does not decline significantly due to water containing green tea
polyphenols given. While mice given green tea is not the opposite
condition.
In theory, Gozal revealed that intake of green tea on a regular basis
is a standard treatment that can be used to treat OSA. "Nevertheless,"
he said, "clear evidence that green tea can help OSA disorders should
be further tested try it in humans."
