1Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Mit = mitochondria and Hep = permeabilized hepatocytes. Concentration of tBHP is shown in mmol/L and that of EGCG in μmol/L; ∗ versus control, + versus corresponding EGCG, and # versus tBHP alone; p < 0.05, <0.01, or <0.001 for one, two, or three symbols, respectively; n = 6–10.
