Green Tea Compound Aids Tumor-Suppressing, DNA-Repairing Protein – Newswise
An antioxidant found in green tea may increase levels of p53, a natural anti-cancer protein, known as the “guardian of the genome” for its ability to repair
Newswise — TROY, N.Y. — An antioxidant found in green tea may increase levels of p53, a natural anti-cancer protein, known as the “guardian of the genome” for its ability to repair DNA damage or destroy cancerous cells.
