abstract={Green tea consumption has been shown to have many beneficial effects on brain health. A high-temperature-processed green tea extract (HTP_GTE) were developed with high levels of epimerized catechins and its effects were investigated on brain functions. HTP_GTE was found to protects neuronal cells and reduces neurite length against oxidative stress-induced cell damage (<i>p</i> ¡Ü 0.001). Furthermore, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical study using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) showed that daily administration of 500 mg HTP_GTE for 8 weeks significantly improved global cognitive functions in middle-aged healthy subjects (n=23; 40.9 ¡À 4.4 yrs) (<i>p</i> = 0.049 vs. placebo). These preliminary results suggest that HTP_GTE may have potential as a nutraceutical for cognitive improvement.},
