From: Epigallocatechin, a Green Tea Polyphenol, Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Effect of in vivo treatment with EGCG on plasma IL-6 levels 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 control; #P < 0.05 compared with vehicle-treated rats subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I-R + vehicle).
