Green Tea Mood Randomized TrialBDNF exerts neuroprotective and neuroactivating properties on both excitatory and inhibitory neurons, with high concentrations found in the hippocampus and frontal cortex [].2Cavanah Aidan M.

Green Tea Mood Randomized TrialThese studies support the ‘neurotrophin hypothesis of depression’, which states that reduced levels of BDNF in the brain contribute to cell atrophy in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex [].2Cavanah Aidan M.
