Effect of (−)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate and free radical inhibitors on plasma uric acid level in rats.
| Group | Uric acid (mg/dL) |
| Sham operation | 1.53 ± 0.18 | LPS plus ischemia-reperfusion | | Control | 1.95 ± 0.03a | (−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (10 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.64 ± 0.24 | (−)-Epicatechin 3-O-gallate (20 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.12 ± 0.11c | Ebselen (5 mg/kg B.W.) | 2.15 ± 0.37b | Uric acid (62.5 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.96 ± 0.35 | SOD (10,000 U/kg B.W.) | 2.09 ± 0.09a | L-6-(1-iminoethyl)lysine hydrochloride (3 mg/kg B.W.) | 1.57 ± 0.25 |
