Default Antioxidant content and multiple infusions

As I understand it, almost all of the caffeine in green tea will be
dissolved in the first infusion, and so any following infusions will
have no caffeine.

Does the same happen with antioxidants too? i.e. Will only the first
infusion contain a significant level of antioxidants?

Thanks.
