“Alternatively, WPI significantly promoted hFOB cell growth in the absence of GTE and attenuated the effect of GTE at low concentrations (64 µg/mL) after 4 and 7 days.”
“ GTE inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, an effect which was potentiated by the addition of WPI.”
“Therefore, the antioxidant effects of GTE can be boosted by WPI , but GTE is not suitable to be used as part of a tissue-engineered construct due to its cytotoxic effects which negate any positive effect WPI has on cell proliferation.”
