Vasodilation of Tea Polyphenols Ex Vivo Is Mediated by Hydrogen Peroxide Under Rapid Compound Decay

Improvement of endothelial function represents a major health effect of tea in humans. Ex vivo, tea and tea polyphenols stimulate nitric oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilation in isolated blood vessels. However, it was reported that polyphenols can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro. We ther...
