Epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits estrogen-induced activation of endometrial cells in vitro and causes

Endometriosis is a frequent gynecological disease that is characterized by the development of vascularized endometriotic lesions inside the peritoneal cavity. Herein, we analyzed whether circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are r…

BACKGROUND: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major component of green tea, is a pleiotropic substance, which may inhibit tumor growth via multiple intracellular signaling pathways. Herein, we studied whether EGCG may also be effective…
