Abstract: Cigarette smok has markedly induced lipid peroxidation in rat lung cell suspension. However, smoke produced by cigarettes that were processed with green tea polyphenols (GTP) has showed a reduced damage to rat lung cell membranes,This result suggested that GTP added into cigarette could significantly inhibit lipid peroxidation induced by cigarette smoke through scavenging free radicals. GTP could inhibit lipid peroxidation by 30% ? 40% , which was better than that of vitamin C or E.If GTP was also added into cigarettes in combination with nano SiO2, the result showed that this combination was superior to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation induced by cigarette smoke.
