Why does EGCG show superior neuroprotective potency compared to resveratrol despite similar antioxidant mechanisms?

OPEN

The study demonstrates EGCG outperforms resveratrol in cell viability and gene expression modulation, yet both compounds target similar oxidative stress pathways. Understanding this mechanistic difference could inform more effective neuroprotective drug design.
