Cardiovascular diseases are closely associated with a high-cholesterol or high-fat diet. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cadioprotective effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in high-fat diet-fed rats, with special emphasis on myocardial infarction. A high-fat diet was
This study aims to evaluate the preventive effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) on lipid peroxides, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and histopathological findings in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced rats. Myocardial infarction (MI) is induced in rats by subcutaneous injection of ISO
This article reports data on the preventive effect of (-)epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on lipid metabolism and lipoproteins in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in Wistar rats. The rats were induced MI by ISO (100 mg/kg) at an interval of 24 h for 2 days. EGCG (30 mg/kg) was
Polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most abundant catechin of green tea, appears to attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. We investigated the involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in EGCG-induced cardioprotection. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to
BACKGROUND
This experiment was performed to determine the effect of polyphenolic (-)-epigallocatechin (EGCG), the most abundant catechin of green tea, given at reperfusion period.
METHODS
Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Green tea extract (GT)
Individuals who experience myocardial infarction (MI) often experience anxiety. Green tea has potent antioxidative properties and, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is a primary component of tea polyphenols, has advantageous effects on anxiety and depression. However, its Ischemia-derived exosomes can restrict excessive autophagy by transferring microRNA-30a (miR30a) to cells. Reports have confirmed that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) alleviates acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by regulating autophagy; however, research evaluating the communication (-)Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) is an emerging natural therapy. This study examined the cardioprotective effect of EGCG on isoproterenol-induced myocardial damage and apoptosis and EGCG's role in modulating the expression of apoptotic signaling proteins. Experimental myocardial infarction was
(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) exerts multiple beneficial effects on cardiovascular performance. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of EGCG on diabetic cardiomyopathy during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. EGCG (100 mg/kg/day) was administered at week 6 for 2 weeks to
Altered mitochondrial function and free radical-mediated tissue damage have been suggested as important pathological events in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiotoxicity. This study was undertaken to know the preventive effect of (-)epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) on mitochondrial damage in
BACKGROUND
The activation of guanine nucleotide binding protein-coupled receptors, such as adenosine receptor (ADR) and opioid receptor (OPR), protects the heart against ischemia and reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that ADR or OPR might be involved in polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate
We evaluated the efficacy of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for improving function in rats with transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Three procedures underwent for each groups; MCAO and EGCG treatment, MCAO without treatment (MCAO control), and sham operation. Function was evaluated
BACKGROUND
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. To date, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) remains the only safe and effective pharmaceutical treatment for brain ischemia, but delayed rt-PA administration leads to hyperperfusion, which severely
Stroke is the second leading cause of death among adults worldwide. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been demonstrated to exhibit neuroprotective functions in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the underlying mechanisms in this process and its contribution to the protection
This study examined the neuroprotective effects and possible hepatotoxicity of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in a rat model of transient focal cerebral ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (265-295 g) were treated with either 50 mg kg(-1) of EGCG or saline, i.p., immediately post-ischemia and
