Why is it important?

The findings from this study suggest that TSCE can reduce F− concentration in blood, brain, liver, and kidney and has the potential to alleviate F− toxicity.

Perspectives

The improvement of serum markers, brain marker enzymes, and hematological parameters might be due to the presence of procyanidins in TSCE.
