Effect of (−)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate and free radical inhibitors on plasma 3-nitrotyrosine level in rats. N, sham operation; C, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion; E1, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after (−)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate (10 mg/kg body weight); E2, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after (−)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate (20 mg/kg body weight); EB, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after ebselen (5 mg/kg body weight); U, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after uric acid (62.5 mg/kg body weight); SOD, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after CuZnSOD (10,000 U/kg body weight); NIL, LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion after L--(1-iminoethyl)lysine hydrochloride (3 mg/kg body weight). N.D., not detectable. Significance: a versus LPS plus ischemia-reperfused control values.
