Through establishing an interleukin (IL)-1-stimulated chondrocytes, it was found that L-theanine could inhibit the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B) pathway, thereby reducing the expression of proinflammatory factors, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin E2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, as well as NO, and protect the degradation of extracellular matrix ( In summary, the anti-inflammatory activity of L-theanine can be associated with inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and inflammation-related signaling pathways
