초록

The action of epigallocatechin-3-gi:lllale (EGCG). polyphenol compound from green lea, on the release pattern of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored renal dipeptidase (RDPase) from renal proximal tubules (PTs) was examined. EGCG had a stronger inhibitory effect on the release of RDPase than alkaline phosphatase (APase), another GPI-anchored ectoenzyme used as a reference protein. The effect of EGCG on cell viability as assessed by MTT test was found to be intact, and moreover, was indicative of potent cell activation or proliferation. (omitted)
