To evaluate the pharmacodynamic interaction of green tea extract with hydrochlorothiazide against isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction wistar albino rat of either sex were prophylactically treated with hydrochlorothiazide (10 mg/kg for 7 days), low and high dose of green tea extract (100 and 500 mg/kg for 3 weeks) and their combination by oral route. To induce the toxicity apart from normal control all other group subjected to isoproterenol (150 mg/kg, s.c) for two consecutive days. The effect of prophylactic treatment was analyzed by estimation of electrocardiographic changes, serum biomarker levels, antioxidant level in tissue and histopathological report. Green tea in both high and low dose and their combination groups with hydrochlorothiazide significantly reduced the serum biomarker levels, increased antioxidant levels in tissue, restored the electrocardiographic changes compared to isoproterenol only treated group. The combination group showed substantial amount of restoration of all the parameters compared to hydrochlorothiazide alone treated group. To conclude the combination of green tea extract with hydrochlorothiazide reduced the side effect and found to be effective against myocardial stress.

“…Intervention protocol in IG began with a vigorous massage during 5 min, with an alcoholic extract of green tea (96% ethanol) macerated for 5 days. Combination of ethyl alcohol with green tea provides a good extraction of the tea components (Bajerskaa et al, 2011). In addi-tion, ethanol promotes the mechanical removal of contaminants and dissolves lipids in the lipid membrane, increasing the permeability of the skin (Goates and Knuton, 1994).…”

Introduction: Increased fat mass is becoming more prevalent in women and its accumulation in the abdominal region can lead to numerous health risks such as diabetes mellitus. The clay body wrap using compounds such as green clay, green tea and magnesium sulfate, in addition to microcurrent, may reduce abdominal fat mass and minimize or prevent numerous health problems. Objective: This study aims at measuring the influence of the clay body wrap with microcurrent and aerobic exercise on abdominal fat. Methods: Nineteen female patients, randomized into intervention (n = 10) and control (n = 9) groups, were evaluated using ultrasound for visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat, calipers and abdominal region perimeter for subcutaneous fat and bioimpedance for weight, fat mass percentage and muscular mass. During 10 sessions (5 weeks, twice a week) both groups performed aerobic exercise in a cycloergometer and a clay body wrap with microcurrent was applied to the intervention group. Results: When comparing both groups after 5 weeks of protocol, there was a significant decrease in the subcutane-ous fat around left anterior superior iliac spine in the intervention group (ρ = 0.026 for a confidence interval 95%). When comparing initial and final abdominal fat in the intervention group, measured by ultrasound (subcutaneous and visceral fat) and by skinfold (subcutaneous fat), we detected a significant abdominal fat reduction. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the clay body wrap used with microcurrent and aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on central fat reduction.

“…Firdausi & Indra (2012) reported that black tea treatment could decrease body weight in rats. (Bajerska et al, 2011) used an obese rats model demonstrated that tea catechins (another kind of tannin) caused a significant increase in lipid catabolism in the liver. Zheng et al, (2004) indicated that catechins and caffeine were synergistic in anti-obesity activities.…”

Rambutan is a tropical fruit that grow well in Indonesia and the peel is considered as waste. Many researchers' showed that rambutan peel contains polyphenol that could be expected to avoid obesity. The objective of this study was to explore the increasing production of local rambutan and to identify the promising phytochemical compounds on its peel as phytopharmaca candidate against obesity. Survey was conducted on the production of rambutan, potential plantation area, and marketing. Sample of rambutan peel collected from the sub-district Kanigoro, Blitar. Phytochemical compounds were analyzed using TLC, HPLC and FT-IR. Bioassay analysis used obesity rat models. The survey result showed a mean of rambutan production increased 2.6% in 2007-2012. Average production of rambutan 70-120 kg/tree. Vegetative multiplication usually done to maintenance of rambutan quality. The main compound of Rambutan peel extract (RPE) is flavonoids, tannins, ellagic acid and the major functional group of CH3, aliphatic CH3, and C=O. These compounds have a potential activity against obesity. RPE 30mg/kgBW dose was significantly inhibit the weight gain of obese rats and reducing the adipocyte size (p<0.05).
