| 1 | That catechin-polyphenols are known to be capable of inhibiting catechol-O-methyltransferase (the enzyme that degrades norepinephrine) is a possible explanation for why the green tea extract is effective in stimulating thermogenesis by epigallocatechin gallate to augment and prolong sympathetic stimulation of thermogenesis. | Norepinephrine | catechol-O-methyltransferase | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Knowledge about thermogenesis-induced weight loss produced by green tea"s epigallocatechin gallate and its ability to inhibit catechol-O-methyltransferase is important for health benefits and for prolonging the action of norepinephrine in the synaptic cleft. | Norepinephrine | catechol-O-methyltransferase | Homo sapiens |
