Resumo

We investigated effects of various tea infusions on mast cell activation using mouse mast cells. Among various tea extracts, infusions from cultivar ‘Benihomare’ and Taiwan lineage strongly inhibited histamine release after FcεRI cross-linking. Among three types of tea (from cultivar ‘Benihomare’), extract from oolong tea or black tea inhibited histamine release more strongly than green tea extract. Furthermore, ‘Benihomare’ oolong tea extract suppressed tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins after FcεRI cross-linking, but polyvinyl polypyrrolidone treatment of the extract to remove phenolic compounds, weakened the suppressive effect.
