Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Protects HUVECs from PM2.5-Induced Oxidative Stress Injury by Activating Critical Antioxidant Pathways

Endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress likely play roles in PM2.5-induced harmful effects. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major polyphenolic constituent of green tea, is a potent antioxidant that exerts protective effects on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in part by scavenging free rad...
