Green Tea Supplementation Affects Body Weight, Lipids, And Lipid Peroxidation In Obese Subjects With Metabolic Syndrome

この研究の注釈:

In a study done on obese persons with metabolic syndrome (mean BMI, 36.1), green tea provided in either drinks or capsules (totaling approximately 870-928mg catechins daily, 440-460mg EGCG) were given for 8 weeks.

Subjects were not blinded to treatment, although their assessors were.

Reductions in weight and biomarkers of oxidation were significant, 2.5+/-0.7kg weight loss greater in the green tea groups.

Trends were seen in reductions of triglycerides and LDL, and improvements in HDL; however, these were not statistically significant.
