Oral administration of 10 mg/kg of EGCG from a presymptomatic stage delays the onset of the disease and prolongs useful life, in addition to increasing the number of motor neurons, decreasing the activation of the microglia, reducing the concentration of NF-kB, caspase-3 and iNOS in a transgenic mouse model of ALS (Xu et al., 2006) (Table 1)
The standard measurement of such enzymatic activity remains spectrophotometry [31]
Little information is available on stability, but one study found it to be stable in water between pH 4.5-7.4 at 60C for at least two weeks, suggesting both aqueous and some thermal stability
The rate-limiting step in GSH synthesis is the availability of cysteine, which is transported into the brain from the blood via the cystine/glutamate antiporter system xc-
A hydride ion is composed of one proton and one electron
