Endothelial NO Production Is Mandatory for Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate–induced Vasodilation: Results From eNOS Knockout (eNOS−/−) Mice
The underlying mechanisms for the vasodilating effects of the tea catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) are still not fully understood. Besides nitric oxide (NO)-dependent effects, other modes of action are discussed. To elucidate whether the NO pathway is a prerequisite in mediating vasodilati...
