Additionally, they can maintain blood-brain barrier integrity and mitochondrial function, as well as promote angiogenesis and neurogenesis. These protective effects have been validated in experimental models of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, the existing mechanistic evidence regarding their neuroprotective effects is predominantly derived from studies on (\u2212)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), while research on other catechin monomers, green tea extracts, or mixed polyphenol preparations remains relatively scarce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Catechins represent promising candidate drugs for stroke due to their multiple neuroprotective potentials. However, most preclinical evidence arises from pretreatment paradigms, which are confounded by heterogeneity in dosage, age, and experimental models. Additionally, the low bioavailability and narrow therapeutic window of catechins restrict their clinical translation. Future research should prioritize the development of nano-delivery systems, the optimization of dosing regimens, and the validation of findings in aged and comorbid models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2026.1937660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T12:13:11Z","timestamp":1789560791000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Catechins in stroke: multi-target mechanisms, preclinical evidence, and translational challenges"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Yue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Qilu Medical University","place":["Zibo, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuangcui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital","place":["Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingqiang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Qilu Medical University","place":["Zibo, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1007\/s11010-007-9675-3","article-title":"Epicatechin gallate increases glutamate uptake and S100B secretion in C6 cell lineage","volume":"310","author":"Abib","year":"2008","journal-title":"Mol.
