PDF Print E-mail

The major components responsible for the antiobesity and hypolipidemic (lowering blood fat level) effects in teas are catechins, caffeine, and theanine. They reduce body weight through following mechanisms:

  • down-regulation of fatty acid synthase gene (The gene responsible for fat forming enzyme production).
  • stimulation of cell energy expenditure.
  • reduce food intake and food efficiency.
  • increase fat oxidation.
