Table 3. Comparison of wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of the three groups.
Group | W/D | MPO activity |
---|---|---|
Control | 4.25±0.08 | 0.25±0.05 |
LPS | 5.13±0.09* | 1.12±0.07*** |
EGCG | 4.39±0.07# | 0.45±0.06## |
Data are reported as means±SE. Control group: mice were given saline; LPS group: mice were given lipopolysaccharide (LPS); EGCG group: mice were given epigallocatechin-3-gallate. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 LPS vs Control; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 EGCG vs LPS (ANOVA).
