Abstract
Background: Currently, with the development of technology, the use of many chemicals especially Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in agriculture and industry has increased. The polyphenolic compounds of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the active ingredient of green tea. It has been reported that green tea has antioxidant effects. In this study, effects of low dose Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), against exposure of Diethylnitrosamine administered rats.
Methods: As a group, groups were divided into five groups of ten rats for the application as Control, Sham, DEN EGCG and DEN+EGCG. The parameters analyzed are hemogram, biochemical, peripheral smear and weight.
Results: DEN injection has significantly increased LDH, AST, ALT and ALP values, Which are signs of hepatocyte injuries. The number of WBCs increased in the EGCG group. In terms of HDL and TChol levels, the group in which DEN+EGCG were applied together was found to be the highest and TG and LDL levels were found to be lowest. The current study will be a comprehensive study demonstrating the effects of low-dose EGCG against DEN-administred rats.
