Protection against Methamphetamine-Induced Striatal Apoptosis by Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) in the Mouse Brain

Published in Journal of Drug and Alcohol Research

Methamphetamine (METH) is a psychostimulant abused worldwide and shown to be neurotoxic to both dopamine terminals and striatal neurons. Thus it would be advantageous to discover natural compounds that protect the brain from the METH-induced neural injury. In the present study, we tested the ability of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most abun...
