Abstract
Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) is the major polyphenolic compound found in Winged Marigold and Green tea. It exhibits well‐established anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. EGCG has been shown to suppress the expression of several pro‐inflammatory cytokines, including IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and IFN‐γ. However, its effect on inflammation‐related cytokines associated with depression in β‐thalassemia patients remains incompletely understood.
