| Abstract | ||||
| Matcha, a fine powder made from leaves of green tea, has become increasingly popular because of its many health benefits. The present research seeks to explore the possible biological impacts of matcha on kidney health. It examines how the bioactive compounds in matcha, especially catechins, may provide protective effects for the kidneys. Recent research indicates that matcha could help reduce oxidative stress, lower inflammation, and enhance kidney function. However, additional human clinical trials are necessary to confirm matcha's therapeutic potential for kidney disease. The present research seeks to explore the influence of matcha extract on kidney health. Fourteen male Wistar albino rats were used in this study Group 1 (control) was given a normal diet, while Group 2 (Match group) received matcha extract (100 mg/kg/day) via oral gavage for four weeks. The findings showed that rats treated with matcha extract experienced notable changes, as matcha extract reduced serum kidney function indicators (creatinine,urea-bun and uric acids ) compared to the control group. significantly reduced urea levels, suggesting potential nephroprotective effects. | ||||
