Effects of EGCG on membrane transporters in the livers of rats. Densitometry quantitation of membrane transporter protein (Mrp2/3 and p-glycoprotein, p-gp) levels from rats fed the EGCG diet for four weeks. Each lane represents the pooled liver membrane protein from five to six individual rats per group. The protein band was quantified by densitometry, and the level of the control was set at 1. EGCG, epigallocatechin-3-gallate. * Significantly different from control group, p < 0.05.
