Green tea, or Camellia sinensis, is a type of unfermented tea that contains natural substances found in fresh leaves. It is considered the second most popular drink in the world after water. This review extensively examines the phytochemistry of green tea, as it exhibits antioxidant, anticancer, hypoglycemic, antibacterial, antiviral and neuroprotective pharmacological activities. Consequently, green tea has demonstrated promising practical applications for healthcare and disease prevention. To accomplish this, a search was conducted using bibliographic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science to find articles related to the phytochemistry of green tea published between 2018 and 2023, in order to ascertain, with evidence, the properties of green tea.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common hereditary form of rickets and osteomalacia. It results from dysregulated fbroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) due to a mutation in the PHEX gene, leading to decreased tubular phosphate reabsorption, reduced renal 1a-hydroxylase activity, and increased renal 24-hydroxylase activity. Patients with XLH present with rickets and osteomalacia, severe lower limb deformities, bone and muscle pain, growth retardation, and reduced quality of life. As a multisystemic disorder, XLH requires a multidisciplinary approach involving highly specialized felds. Severe complications associatedwith XLH include craniosynostosis, hearing loss, progressive bone deformities, recurrent dentaland periodontal lesions, and psychosocial distress. Given these concerns, we conducted a literature review of PLOS ONE and the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, focusing on...

Objetive: Explains the antimicrobial effect of Camellia sinesis, which will lead to a higher incidence of carious lesions, found in the literature of the last 5 years. Methods: The research used a Scoping Review-style literature review. It had a quantitative style. A review was carried out in the search engines Medline, PubMed, Science Direct and Cochrane, with the use of a consistency mold that will be the selection tool. Scientific journals written in English are named, published in the years 2018 until October 2023. Results: Encouraging peaks were demonstrated with respect to caries media such as Streptococcus mutans in saliva, demonstrating that compounds from Camellia sinesis or tea green, serves to prevent carious lesions with the diverse device called polyphenols, preventing greater bacterial aggregation, which in the long run is more prevalent at older ages. Conclusion: green tea...
