epicatechin gallate/necrosis

We have previously demonstrated that 50mg/kg of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is hepatotoxic to female Swiss Webster mice, while lower doses of EGCG and epicatechin gallate (ECG) modulate various cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. Therefore, this study was designed to further investigate the role of

IL-6 is well recognized to be a potent bone resorptive agent and thus in the development of periodontal disease. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin gallate (ECG), the major catechins in green tea, and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TFDG), polyphenol in black tea, have multiple beneficial

Green tea and grape phenolics inhibit cancer growth and modulate cellular metabolism. Targeting the tumor metabolic profile is a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, we treated human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cells with the phenolic compound epicatechin gallate

Cisplatin, a platinum compound, is used as a first-line agent against various forms of solid cancers. Nephrotoxicity is an important adverse effect of cisplatin therapy, which involves increased oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)

Introduction: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting older individuals with signs of motor disability and cognitive impairment. Epicatechin (EC) and edaravone have neuroprotective effects most probably due to their

BACKGROUND Human noroviruses (HuNoV), which are responsible for acute gastroenteritis, are becoming a serious public health concern worldwide. Since no effective antiviral drug or vaccine for HuNoV has been developed yet, some natural extracts and their active components have been investigated for

This study was designed to determine the effect of the in vivo administration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin gallate (ECG) on enzymes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of estradiol. EGCG (12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg/day, i.p.) or ECG (12.5 or 25 mg/kg/day, i.p.) was administered

Fatty liver caused by ethanol decreases survival after liver transplantation in rats. This study investigated if antioxidant polyphenols from Camellia sinenesis (green tea) prevent failure of fatty grafts from ethanol-treated rats. Donor rats were given ethanol intragastrically (6 g/kg). After 20 h,

It is now well accepted that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibits carcinogenesis in the digestive tract in rodents. To understand the mechanisms of anticarcinogenesis, we first studied growth inhibition by EGCG in human stomach cancer cell lines established at Seoul National University (SNU

Liubao tea is a type of traditional Chinese tea, belonging to the dark teas. This study is a basic research of the contained polyphenols (active substances) and detected preventive effects of polyphenols of raw Liubao tea (PRLT) on mouse gastric injuries induced by HCl/ethanol. High-pressure liquid

Alterations in phenolic contents were studied in Esca symptomatic (Sym) and asymptomatic (Asym) vines of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' based on wood conditions (healthy, HLT; necrotic, Nec; and rotten, Rot) and vine parts (head, trunk, and rootstock). In Asym vines, only Alternaria alternate was identified

The present study investigated the preventive effect of polyphenols in Liubao tea (PLT) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)-induced liver injury in mice. The mice were initially treated with PLT, followed by induction of liver injury using 10 mL/kg CCl₄. Then liver and serum indices, as well as the

Epidemiological evidence suggests protective effects of dietary flavonoids against cardiovascular disease. Tea provides a major source of dietary flavonoids in many countries and its polyphenolic components have well-recognised antioxidant properties. However, scavenging of free radicals may not be

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of catechins on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in human dental pulp cells (HDPC) stimulated with bacteria-derived factors or pro-inflammatory cytokines. METHODS Morphologically fibroblastic cells

A high-fat diet-induced C57BL/6N mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was established. The effect and mechanism of Raw Bowl Tea polyphenols (RBTP) on preventing NAFLD via regulating intestinal function were observed. The serum, liver, epididymis, small intestine tissues, and
