From: Epigallocatechin, a Green Tea Polyphenol, Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Effect of in vivo treatment with EGCG on pressure-rate index in rats subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Data represent pressure-rate index as recorded before occlusion of the left main coronary artery (basal) after 30 min of ischemia (end of ischemia) and after 120 min of reperfusion (end of reperfusion). Pressure rate index is calculated by the following formula (mean blood pressure [mmHg] × beats/min/1000). Values are means ± SEM of 5 to 6 rats per group.
