Effect of Catechins on Serum Lipids in Obese Women

Abstract

Twenty-seven obese women were participated in this study. Eight women were tea catechin drinking group, Nine women were exercise group, and ten women were tea catekin drinking-combined with exercise group. After catechin drinking or exercise conducted, blood lipid factor were analyzed. body weight and triglycerides low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly decreased in tea catekin drinking combined with exercise group (p<0.001) and exercise group (p<0.001). total cholesterol were significantly decreased in three groups (p<0.05). It is thought that together catechin drinking and exercise can maximize weight loss of obese woman and reducing of blood lipid factor.■ keyword :|Catechin|Cholesterol|Triglycerides|HDL-C|LDL-C|

Effects of green tea catechin on the blood pressure and lipids in overweight and obese population-a meta-analysis

“…A study by Victoria [ 39 ] showed that no significant effect of green tea on BMI (SMD = −0.22, CI −0.52 to 0.074, p = 0.14) was observed with a heterogeneity of 69.7 % (p < 0.001) whereas a significant effect of green tea on body weight (SMD = −0.7, CI −1.16 to −0.23, p = 0.003) was observed with a heterogeneity of 86.4 % (p < 0.001). At the same time, a study in Korea [ 40 ], found that catechin drink intake has no significant effect on the weight in obese women, However, combining with exercise or exercise only can effectively improve the weight of obese women, which is consistent with the present study. It showed that green tea catechin supplementation in the overweight and obese population did not show significant effect on body weight.…”
