In the paper, it was found that a significantly higher antioxidant activity of Se-enriched green tea than regular green
tea was probably due to the combinations of Se with tea
polyphenols and tea polysaccharides. Further study about
the chemical form of Se existed in these components and
the way it binds with them is still in progress in our laboratory. Both Se and green tea have been reported to exhibit
antigenotoxic and cancer chemopreventive properties. So,
drinking tea may be an effective way to reduce the incidence
of many diseases and Se-enriched tea may be more potent
for its possible synergistic effects.
