Effect of Epigallocatechin‐3‐Gallate on Depression‐Related Cytokines in Thalassemia Patients: Molecular and Cellular Evaluation
EGCG significantly reduces the expression of depression-related inflammatory cytokines in PBMCs derived from β-thalassemia patients. These findings suggest that EGCG may have a potential modulatory role in inflammatory pathways associated with depression in thalassemia, although dose-dependent cytotoxic effects should be carefully considered.
