Green Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Promotes Reendothelialization in Carotid Artery of Diabetic Rabbits by Reactivating Akt/eNOS Pathway

Background: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant catechin in green tea and has proven benefits on endothelial cells in diabetes. However, it remains unclear whether EGCG could improve function of late endothelial progenitor cells (L-EPCs) in diabetes.Methods: Thirty-six rabbits were...
