Feefect of EGCG and quercitive on the various urine parameters (urea, creatimine Ca++, Uric acid, P Na+, K+, Cl-) in male albino rats. Group I: normal control group; Group II: lithiatic and 1% Tween 80; Group III: allopurinol; Group IV: EGCG; Group V: quercetin; Group VI: EGCG and quercetin. All the values are expressed as mean±SEM of 6 animals. * In the data indicates significance comparison with the control group and # for comparison with the diseased group, * or # p<005, ** or ## p<0.01, *** or ### p<0.001, **** or #### p<0.0001.
