Epigallocatechin Gallate Attenuates Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity by Suppressing Apoptosis and Ferroptosis

Lin Yue et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that epigallocatechin gallate (EG) from green tea attenuated nephrotoxicity induced by gentamicin (GEN), reducing the increase of ROS and MDA and the decrease of GSH levels, and activating the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1. Furthermore, EG alleviated apoptosis and ferroptosis caused by GEN. However, the protective effects of EG were weakened when Nrf2 was knocked down.
