Figure 2From: Epigallocatechin, a Green Tea Polyphenol, Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in RatsEffect of in vivo treatment with EGCG on plasma levels of creatine Phosphokinase in rats subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I-R). Each data point represents the mean ± SEM of 6 animals for each group. EGCG-treated rats received a bolus dose of EGCG 10 mg/kg at the end of the ischemia period followed by 10 mg/kg/h intravenous infusion for the entire period of reperfusion. *P < 0.05 compared with sham operated rats control); #P < 0.05 versus vehicle-treated rats subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I-R + vehicle).Back to article page
