Negative feedback for endothelial apoptosis: a potential physiological role for fibroblast growth factor.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:This study aimed to investigate whether epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) shows antioxidant activity against angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The viability of HUVECs was revealed by MTT and LDH assay. The cell apoptosis was dete...
