Indivudual variability
Project description
The application of tea polyphenols holds promise in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. However, the current scientific evidence is clouded by a huge interindividual variability in observed health effects. This is due to the fact that there are many confounding factors in human
intervention studies: age, gender, diet, gene polymorphisms, and – importantly- the human gut microbiome.
