Abstract

The effect of green tea and related compounds against Sr-90 absorption through the intestine was examined by using Wistar strain rats. It was concluded that green tea acts inhibitorily on the absorption of Sr-90 through the intestine and that the effect is partly due to the astringent action and the reduction of the intestinal movement by green tea.
