The effect of epigallocatechin gallate on intestinal motility in normal and endotoxemic mice

Abstract

Fig. 2 Representative tracings (A), amplitude (B), and rate (C) of spontaneous contractions of jejunal segment from saline-treated (white) and endotoxemic (black) animals. Data are expressed as mean values SEM (n = 11). Significantly different from respective LPS group. Student test, P < 0.05. Fig. 1 A, weight of jejunal segments from saline-treated (white) and endotoxemic (black) animals. B, mean tension of jejunal segments during experiment measured at the beginning of experiment (control 1), before first addition of epigallocatechin gallate (control 2), and before addition of papaverine (control 3). Data are expressed as mean values SEM (n = 11). There are no significant differences. Student t test (A) and ANOVA post hoc test Student-NewmannKeuls test (B).
