Description

(-)-Catechin is a control agent that can be used in the surface methodology to synthesize cerebroside. (-)-Catechin has been shown to inhibit the growth of squamous carcinoma cells as well as prevent the development of cancerous lesions in rats. (-)-Catechin has also been shown to protect against oxidative damage by decreasing lipid peroxide levels and inhibiting tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production. (-)-Catechin has been shown to have insulin-sensitizing effects, which may be due to its inhibition of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid pathway or its ability to increase glucose uptake into cells.
