From: Epigallocatechin, a Green Tea Polyphenol, Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Effect of in vivo treatment with EGCG on MPO activity in rats subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I-R). Tissue MPO activity was measured in myocardial tissue in vehicle-treated and EGCG-treated rats and compared with control rats. 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).
