Figure 3
EGCG plasma levels did not correlate with changes in FMD. Shown are the sum of free and conjugated EGCG plasma levels two hours after consumption (a). Data are means ± SEM from n = 50 subjects for water, EGCG, and green tea and n = 49 for GTE. *p < 0.05 versus GTE and green tea, #p < 0.05 versus EGCG and green tea (Wilcoxon test). Correlations of EGCG plasma levels with changes in FMD after green tea, GTE, and EGCG (b). There were no significant correlations between EGCG plasma levels and FMD for all treatments (Spearman’s). Data are from n = 50 subjects for EGCG and green tea and n = 49 for GTE.
