A green tea component, the amino acid theanine, which is thought to have a tranquillising effect on the brain, may explain the "potentially beneficial effect" shown in the current study, Niu noted, adding that more study is needed.[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ _FVqO\ s}%qzpTspFroG]
日本研究人员日前称，老年人每天喝几杯绿茶可降低患抑郁症的风险，这可能是因为绿茶中含有一种能让人“感觉良好”的化学物质。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ BcOW2E=|$o_SMz|2U7gFroG]
之前的几项研究发现，喝绿茶有助于减少心理问题。日本东北大学研究生院的丹生介顺及其同事发现，每天喝四杯或四杯以上绿茶的70岁及以上的老年人患抑郁症的几率比那些不喝绿茶的人低44%。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ 27 P/PhxWQr]GCtm}FroG]

丹生指出，绿茶中所含的茶氨酸成分对于大脑有镇定作用，这或许可以解释这项研究所发现的绿茶的“潜在益处”，不过还需进一步研究加以论证。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ R. UJ{TJ ?ROEpFroG]
