Fig. 1. EGCG blocks cardiac hypertrophy in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. H9C2 cardiomyocytes were pretreated with EGCG (25µM) for 1 h followed by stimulation with 100µM PE for 24 h. (A) Cellular hypertrophy was demonstrated by changes in mRNA levels of hypertrophic biomarkers Nppa and BNP. (B and C) Cardiomyocytes were stained with rhodamine-phalloidin followed by cell surface area quantization. *p<0.05 vs. the control group, #p<0.05 vs. the PE group, n=3.
