Fourteen-week toxicity study of green tea extract in rats and mice.
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. Abstract The toxicity of green tea extract (GTE) was evaluated in 14-week gavage studies in male and female F344/NTac rats and B6C3F1 mice at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg. In the rats, no treatment-related mortality was noted. In the mice, treatment-related mortality occurred in male and female mice in the 1,000 mg/kg dose groups. The cause of early deaths was likely related to liver
