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 ± 0.15^a
(−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (10 mg/kg B.W.)	0.18 ± 0.01^b
(−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (20 mg/kg B.W.)	0.17 ± 0.01^b
Ebselen (5 mg/kg B.W.)	1.10 ± 0.18^a
Uric acid (62.5 mg/kg B.W.)	1.06 ± 0.07^a
SOD (10,000 U/kg B.W.)	0.22 ± 0.01^b
L-𝑁^6-(1-iminoethyl)lysine hydrochloride (3 mg/kg B.W.)	0.20 ± 0.03^b

Significance: ^a𝑃<0.001 versus sham operation values; ^b𝑃<0.001 versus LPS plus ischemia-reperfused control values.
