Effect of tea components on the stress response in mice under confrontational housing conditions. After single housing for six days, the mice were housed confrontationally for one day. These mice were separated into four groups, as follows: Group 1; control. Group 2; mice ingested water containing the same concentrations of caffeine (103 µM), EGCG (33 µM), Thea (80 µM) and Arg (40 µM) as SWLT (CE/TA = 1.12). Group 3; mice ingested water containing caffeine (36 µM), EGCG (15 µM), Thea (80 µM), and Arg (40 µM). The CE/TA ratio of this composition was 0.45. Group 4; mice ingested water containing the same concentrations of caffeine (58 µM), EGCG (29 µM), Thea (16 µM), and Arg (3 µM) as in placebo green tea (CE/TA = 4.47). Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 4, * p < 0.05).
