Dietary supplementation with powder of a green tea extract suppressed the enhancement of plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities induced by D-galactosamine, but not by carbon tetrachloride, in a dose-dependent manner in rats. The minimum dose to cause a significant effect was 1 to 2%. Drinking green tea also suppressed plasma enzyme activities. These results indicate that green tea had a liver injury-preventive effect.
