Effect Of Green Tea Extract On Obese Women: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial

この研究の注釈:

Green tea catechins at 491mg daily over a period of 3 months was unable to produce significant weight loss (0.3% bodyweight) but was able to modify markers of lipid metabolism in a beneficial manner.

Ghrehlin was also increased and Triglycerides lowered, but this was seen in placebo as well and not significantly different from placebo; just different from baseline.


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.
