Figure 5. Effect of increasing amounts of gastric mucin on luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL) quenching by the polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) (17.5 uM).

Figure 5

Note that non-inhibitory amounts of mucin dose-dependently increase the antioxidative activity of the tea polyphenol EGCG, presumably by increasing its solubility in aqueous solution. (n = 4).
