epigallocatechin gallate/hemorrhage

The antithrombotic activities and mode of action of green tea catechins (GTC) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major compound of GTC, were investigated. Effects of GTC and EGCG on the murine pulmonary thrombosis in vivo, human platelet aggregation in vitro, and ex vivo, and coagulation

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

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major constituent of green tea, has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer activity. Sulindac is also well known as a cancer-preventive agent against colon cancer, but its usage is restricted because of its adverse effects, as exemplified by gastrointestinal

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea extract, on partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO)-induced bladder injury in a rat model. METHODS The female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sham or BOO procedures, and were divided into several groups

BACKGROUND Catechin, a polyphenol contained in tea (a cup of tea contains approximately 0.1% [w/v] catechin), has various physiological effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of catechin on gastric mucosal lesions. METHODS We studied the effect of

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV), the representative strain of the species Aquareovirus C, serves as a model for studying the pathogenesis of aquareoviruses. Previously, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was shown to inhibit orthoreovirus infection. The aim of this study was to test its potential in

Introduction: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne hemorrhagic fever caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV). The mortality rate of SFTS is pretty high, but no vaccines and antiviral drugs are currently

Uterine fibroids (UFs) remain a significant health issue for many women, with a disproportionate impact on women of color, likely due to both genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of UFs is estimated to be approximately 70% depending on population. UF-derived clinical symptoms include

The catechin epigallocatechin gallate showed the strongest activity of the six tea catechins tested against Helicobacter pylori (MIC for 50% of the strains tested, 8 microg/ml). It had bactericidal activity at pH 7 but not at pH
