Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Inhibits Lactase but Is Alleviated by Salivary Proline-Rich Proteins (2011)
Journal Article
Naz, S., Siddiqi, R., Dew, T. P., & Williamson, G. (2011). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Inhibits Lactase but Is Alleviated by Salivary Proline-Rich Proteins. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 59(6), 2734-2738. https://doi.org/10.1021/jf103072z

Lactase phlorizin hydrolase is a small intestinal brush border enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the milk sugar, lactose, and also many flavonoid glucosides. We demonstrate that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the principal flavonoid from gr...

Bone mineral density, polyphenols and caffeine: a reassessment (2007)
Journal Article
Dew, T. P., Day, A. J., & Morgan, M. R. A. (2007). Bone mineral density, polyphenols and caffeine: a reassessment. Nutrition Research Reviews, 20(1), 89-105. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954422407738805

Several studies have shown beneficial associations between tea consumption and bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. Current investigations into potential mechanisms of benefit are focused upon the F and polyphenol components of tea. However,...

Xanthine Oxidase Activity in Vitro:  Effects of Food Extracts and Components (2005)
Journal Article
Dew, T. P., Day, A. J., & Morgan, M. R. A. (2005). Xanthine Oxidase Activity in Vitro:  Effects of Food Extracts and Components. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 53(16), 6510-6515. https://doi.org/10.1021/jf050716j

There is significant interest in the direct antioxidant activities of dietary polyphenols, due to associations between consumption of polyphenol-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, and decreased incidence of oxidative-stress related disease. H... Read More about Xanthine Oxidase Activity in Vitro:  Effects of Food Extracts and Components.
