摘要
The authors investigated the influence of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) on the liver mitochondria permeability transition pore (PTP) opening through mitochondria swelling and change of mitochondria membrane potential. The data showed that GTPs had obvious protective effect on the Ca 2+-induced PTP opening in a dose-dependent manner detected by mitochondria swelling. The results were obtained by measuring the change of mitochondria membrane potential through Rh 123. Further experiments were conducted to examine the detailed influence of GTPs on Ca 2+import and export of mitochondria. The results showed that GTPs had remarkably inhibitory effect on the Ca 2+-induced Ca 2+ import in mitochondria; and that they could accelerate Ca 2+-release from mitochondria. Our data provide an alternate interpretation of the potent protective function of GTPs on cell against apoptosis.
