Comparison of the inhibition on cellular 22-NBD-cholesterol accumulation and transportation of monomeric catechins and their corresponding A-type dimers in Caco-2 cell monolayers

The hypocholesterolaemic activities of EC, ECG, EGCG and their corresponding A-type dimers (A-type EC, ECG and EGCG dimers) were investigated in Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Among them, A-type ECG and EGCG dimers are the unique units of persimmon proanthocyanidins and few information about their bio...
