[Effects of indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate on alteration and reparation in affected urethra of experimental animals].

The effects of indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate on alteration and reparation in the urethra were studied in 30 male Shinshilla rabbits. From the observation day 2 the rabbits were fed with indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate in addition to standard diet. Microcirculation was assessed with a laser analyzer of capillary circulation LAKK-01 which detected earlier recovery of microcirculation in the group of the animals fed with indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate. Thus, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate improve alteration and reparation in affected urethra due to development of soft elastic connective tissue with better capillary circulation.
