| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism of synergistic enhancement of vasorelaxation by food compounds. It was demonstrated that vasorelaxation of anti-atherosclerotic di-peptide, Trp-His, was synergistically enhanced by the epigallocatechingallate through their enhancement of NO production signals. The present study also showed that the synergistic vasorelaxation by Trp-His/EGCg was attenuated by a pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α treatment, and the attenuated vasorelaxation was restored by a widely present natural phenolic acid, ferulic acid.
