Green Tea Activates Reexpression of Glutathione Via Methylation Mechanisms.

New study demonstrates that green tea polyphenols (GTP) has dual potential to alter DNA methylation and chromatin modeling and reexpression of glutathione transferase, the 2 global epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation and their lack of toxicity makes them excellent candidates for the chemoprevention of prostate cancer.
