Effect of (−)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate and free radical inhibitors on renal hydroxyl radical in rats.
| Group | Hydroxyl radical (DMPO-OH) |
| Sham operation | 0.29 ± 0.07 | LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion | | Control | 1.15 ± 0.15a | (−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (10 mg/kg B.W.) | 0.18 ± 0.01b | (−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (20 mg/kg B.W.) | 0.17 ± 0.01b | Ebselen (5 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.10 ± 0.18a | Uric acid (62.5 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.06 ± 0.07a | SOD (10,000 U/kg B.W.) | 0.22 ± 0.01b | L-6-(1-iminoethyl)lysine hydrochloride (3 mg/kg B.W.) | 0.20 ± 0.03b |
