These experiments were designed to determine whether green tea extract (GTE), which contains polyphenolic free radical scavengers, prevents ischemia-reperfusion injury to the liver. Rats were fed a powdered diet containing 0–0.3% GTE starting 5 days before hepatic warm ischemia and reperfusion. Free radicals in bile were trapped with the spin-trapping reagent α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)- N- tert-butylnitrone (4-POBN) and measured using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion increased transaminase release and caused pathological changes including focal necrosis and hepatic leukocyte infiltration in the liver. Transaminase release was diminished by over 85% and pathological changes were almost totally blocked by 0.1% dietary GTE. Ischemia-reperfusion increased 4-POBN/radical adducts in bile nearly twofold, an effect largely blocked by GTE. Epicatechin, one of the major green tea polyphenols, gave similar protection as GTE. In addition, hepatic ischemia-reperfusion activated NF-κB and increased TNF-α mRNA and protein expression. These effects were all blocked by GTE. Taken together, these results demonstrate that GTE scavenges free radicals in the liver after ischemiareoxygenation, thus preventing formation of toxic cytokines. Therefore, GTE could prove to be effective in decreasing hepatic injury in disease states where ischemia-reperfusion occurs.

Green tea is one of the most beverages with antioxidants and nutrients. As one of the major components of green tea, (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) was evaluated for its antioxidative properties in the present study. Cell proliferation assay, tube formation, cell migration, apoptosis, and autophagy were performed in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs) after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to investigate potential anti-ischemia/reperfusion injury properties of ECG in vitro. Markers of oxidative stress as ROS, LDH, MDA, and SOD were further assayed in our study. Data indicated that ECG could affect neovascularization and promote cell proliferation, tube formation, and cell migration while inhibiting apoptosis and autophagy through affecting VEGF, Bcl-2, BAX, LC3B, caspase 3, mTOR, and Beclin-1 expression. All the data suggested that ECG may be protective for the brain against ischemia/reperfusion injury by promoting neovascularization, alleviating apoptosis and autophagy, and promoting cell proliferation in HBMVECs of OGD/R.
