Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of green tea extract (CUMC6335) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on secretion of catecholamines (CA) in the isolated perfused rat adrenal gland. ill the presence of CUMC6335 (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) into an adrenal vein for 60 min, CA secretory responses evoked by ACh(5.32 mM), high $K^+$ (56 mM) and Bay-K-8644 (10$\mu$M for 4 min) from the isolated perfused rat adrenal glands were greatly inhibited in a time-dependent fashion. However, EGCG (8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) did not affect CA release evoked by ACh, high $K^+$ and Bay-K-8644. CUMC6335 itself did fail to affect basal catecholamine output. Taken together, these results demonstrate that CUMC6335 inhibits greatly CA secretion evoked by stimulation of cholinergic nicotinic receptors as well as by the direct membrane deplarization from the isolated perfused rat adrenal gland. It is felt that this inhibitory effect of CUMC6335 may be due to blocking action of the L-type dihydropyridine calcium channels in the rat adrenal medullary chromaffin cells, which is relevant to the cholinergic nicotinic blockade. It seems that there is a big difference in mode of action between CUMC6335 and EGCG.
