The effect of green tea tannin on the proliferation of mesangial cells was determined in terms of [3H]thymidine uptake. When green tea tannin was added to the medium of mesangial cell cultures, it suppressed the proliferation of mesangial cells markedly. In particular, (-)-epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, the predominant component of the green tea tannin mixture, exerted an inhibitory effect at a relatively low concentration, suggesting a direct corroboration of the renal effects.
通过[³H]胸腺嘧啶核苷摄取来测定绿茶单宁对系膜细胞增殖的影响。当将绿茶单宁添加到系膜细胞培养的培养基中时,它能显著抑制系膜细胞的增殖。特别是,(-)-表没食子儿茶素3-O-没食子酸酯,作为绿茶单宁混合物的主要成分,在相对较低的浓度下就发挥了抑制作用,这表明对肾脏的影响得到了直接的确证。
