Average and individual pharmacokinetics for green tea catechin metabolites in the plasma of each volunteer postconsumption of green tea supplementation on day 0 (the first day of supplementation). The pharmacokinetics are for O-Me-O-EC-O-sulfate, EC-O-sulfate and EGC-O-glucuronide (assessed as peak area, relative to the internal standard, 2 μg/ml EG; mean±SE; n=11 subjects). EC, epicatechin; EG, ethyl gallate; EGC, epigallocatechin; IS, internal standard; Me, methyl.
