“…The main active component in green tea, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has shown inhibitory effects on weight gain in rat models (Ashida et al, 2004;Bose et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Diepvens et al, 2006;Nagao et al, 2009;Richard et al, 2009;Wolfram et al, 2005). In such studies, EGCG was used at high, non-physiologically attainable concentrations; conversely, when lower concentrations of EGCG were used (i.e.…”

“…In such studies, EGCG was used at high, non-physiologically attainable concentrations; conversely, when lower concentrations of EGCG were used (i.e. less than 1 μM), it was found that they exert little or negligible effect (Ashida et al, 2004;Bose et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Diepvens et al, 2006;Kato et al, 2008;Nagao et al, 2009;Richard et al, 2009;Wolfram et al, 2005). The results obtained with high EGCG concentrations may not reflect the physiological response of the body to EGCG administration; since under a regular-based consumption in humans, the highest plasma concentration is about 0.7 μM EGCG (Yang et al, 1998).…”

“…Both Lep ob/ob and LepR db/db mice have nearly identical metabolic profiles, demonstrating obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and elevated total cholesterol levels (Kennedy et al, 2010). Green tea (Richard et al, 2009) and curcumin (Weisberg et al, 2008) are among some of the dietary interventions shown to reduce the severity of diseased phenotype in these models.…”

The rise in noncommunicable chronic diseases associated with changing diet and lifestyles throughout the world is a major challenge for society. It is possible that certain dietary components within plants have roles both in reducing the incidence and progression of these diseases. We critically review the types of evidence used to support the health promoting activities of certain phytochemicals and plant-based foods and summarize the major contributions but also the limitations of epidemiological and observational studies and research with the use of cell and animal models. We stress the need for human intervention studies to provide high-quality evidence for health benefits of dietary components derived from plants.

“…In this study, lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes decreased significantly after a 24 h treatment with 10 μM EGCG while cell viability was retained. Richard et al [48], used male-deficient (ob/ob) mice and their lean counterparts (mice C57BL/6J mice) to investigate whether regular decaffeinated green tea intake affected body weight and lipid profiles. GT consumption resulted in significantly lower weight gain in the obese mice and associated cholesterolemia, triglyceridemia, and adiponectin concentrations but did not adversely affect the lean model.…”

Abstract:The consumption of tea originated in ancient China over 4000 years ago and is currently the second most popular beverage in the world after water. Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The link between tea intake, most notably green tea, and health has resulted in intense research on the components responsible for preventing the onset of several chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, obesity and diabetes. In particular, the high levels of chemically diverse phenols (e.g., phenolic acids, flavonoids) present in tea exhibit potent protective properties against many of these diseases. Although health related research on green tea and its predominant phenol (catechins) has been on-going for decades, major advances have occurred in the last 5-10 years. Therefore, this review focuses on seminal studies reported primarily within the last five years but not extending past ten years on the link between health and green tea with an emphasis on the catechins.
