Article Synopsis
- Theabrownin (TB) is a beneficial biomacromolecule from tea known for its antitumor and lipid-lowering effects, but its concentration in tea is typically low.
- Researchers developed a high-content black tea extract called Herbt Tea Essences (HTE), with TB levels around 80%, and conducted safety tests on mice to assess its toxic effects.
- The acute toxicity test showed a high tolerance level (LD value of 21.68 g/kg), while the subacute study indicated no significant issues at lower doses, though some nephrotoxicity was observed at 4000 mg/kg, potentially linked to an inflammatory response.
