Description
(-) -Gallocatechin (Standard) is the analytical standard of (-) -Gallocatechin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. (-) -Gallocatechin, an epimer of (-) -Epigallocatechin (EGC), is contained in various tea products. (-) -Gallocatechin has antioxidant activities. (-) -Gallocatechin is the main active component in green tea extract (HTP-GTE) responsible for its effect of improving age-related cognitive impairments involving protein kinase A (PKA) pathway[1][2][3][4].
