“Further, L-arginine and L-NAME pretreatment with the sub effective dose of lycopene (5mg/kg) and EGCG (20mg/kg) reversed and potentiate their protective effects respectively.”

“The inhibitory effect of EGCG on cell proliferation induced by Ang II was partly blocked by pretreatment with N(omega)-nitro- L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride.”
“However, l-NAME (10 mg/kg) pretreatment with EGCG (20 mg/kg) significantly potentiated the protective effect of EGCG which was significant as compared to their effect per se.”
“In acute studies, EGCG (1-100 microM) elicited dose-dependent vasodilation in mesenteric vascular beds (MVB) isolated from SHR ex vivo that was inhibitable by N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; nitric oxide synthase antagonist) or wortmannin [phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase inhibitor].”

“Treatment of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) with EGCG (50 μm) acutely stimulated production of NO (assessed with NO-specific fluorescent dye DAF-2) that was inhibitable by l-NAME , wortmannin, or PP2.”
