Tea polyphenols (TP) have many health benefits, but most are metabolized into low molecular-weight phenolic acids after oral administration. In the present study, the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of catechins in rats fed a normal chow diet and in obese rats fed a high-fat and high-sugar
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of green tea Camellia sinensis extract on proinflammatory molecules and lipolytic protein levels in adipose tissue of diet-induced obese mice. Animals were randomized into four groups: CW (chow diet and water); CG (chow diet and water + green tea
Green tea catechins, especially (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have been proposed as a chemopreventative for obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism of the action of EGCG on fat cell function. This study was designed to
Moderate red wine consumption has been correlated with lower incidences of cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. We studied binding of ligands from different wines to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ
Epidemiological studies suggest that green tea extracts (GTEs), including catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate, have a beneficial effect on obesity, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and inflammation. Although several studies have shown that
Recent studies have shown that FAS (fatty acid synthase) is a potential therapeutic target of obesity. In the present paper we report that extract of green tea (Camellia sinensis Xihu Longjing) inhibits FAS effectively with an IC50 value of 12.2 microg dry weight/ml. The ability of GTE (green tea
Green tea (Camellia sinensis, Theaceace), has been extensively studied for its putative effects in prevention of age related diseases. Here, we discuss the increasing evidence that consumption of green tea has preventative effects in obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, type II
Polyphenols, retained in black tea wastes following the commercial production of tea beverages, represent an underutilized resource. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential use of hot-compressed water (HCW) for the extraction of pancreatic lipase-inhibiting polyphenols from black
Recently, animal fatty acid synthase (FAS) is reported as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and cancer. Considerable interest has been developed in identifying novel inhibitors of the enzyme. It is found that tea polyphenols inhibit FAS in both reversible and irreversible manners.
It was reported that increased plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) are associated with profound insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and may also play a critical role in the insulin resistance of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Skeletal muscle is the major site for insulin-stimulated
