The Effect of Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis) on the Number of Fallopian Tube Epithelial Cells in Female White Rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate): A Literature Review

Abstract

Most green tea contains catechins which function to control the amount of free radicals by binding to reactive oxygen species (ROS). To determine the effect of green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) on the number of fallopian tube epithelial cells in female white rats (Rattus norvegicus) that have been exposed to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) with a literature review approach. This study used a literature review using the Systematic Literature Review method. There were 10 journals that discussed the effect of green tea or other antioxidants on the number of fallopian tube epithelial cells in female white rats (Rattus norvegicus) that had been exposed to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). A total of 10 journals used in this literature review, showed that the effect of MSG and cypermethrin on Fallopian tube epithelial cells in experimental animals can significantly cause cellular hypertrophy of epithelial cells in the fallopian tubes, degenerative changes, atrophy and distortion of the basement membrane that separates the endosalpinx from myosalpinx.
