Tea is the most abundantly consumed prepared beverage in the world. Green tea, containing catechins, exerts antiinflammatory activities. However, a fundamental gap exists concerning its intestinal-level targets that can prevent metabolic syndrome (MetS) development and progression. Studies in obese
Obesity is a major public health concern in the United States, with over two-thirds of the adult population classified as overweight or obese. Obesity is characterized by low-grade chronic inflammation that, in part, is mediated by metabolic endotoxemia. Metabolic endotoxemia describes increased
The study included a 2-week run-in period of diet standardization and an 8-week treatment period. At enrolment, patients were given standard behavioural and qualitative dietary suggestions to correct their unhealthy habits. In particular, subjects were strongly recommended to follow the general
RATIONALE Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical entity associated with obesity, insulin resistance (IR), hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL. This syndrome promotes the pathophysiological mechanisms of oxidative stress damage, endothelial inflammation, hypercoagulability, atheromatosis
1. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ingesting a flavonoid-rich supplement on total urine polyphenol concentration and shifts in blood metabolites related to flavonoid intake in healthy but overweight/obese community-dwelling adults.
2. Secondary objectives are to
Obesity prevalence is increasing around the world and the United Kingdom is no exception. Latest statistics show that approximately 25% of the UK population is obese and is predicted to rise to 70% by 2020 if present trends continue. Obesity is particularly widespread in Scotland where approximately
Research Objectives:
The primary objective is to apply an effective medical weight loss treatment to post bariatric surgery patients to enhance their weight loss through stimulation of thermogenesis and lipolysis and retention of lean body mass. This treatment using ephedrine with phosphodiesterase

During the treatment phase of the study, subjects will be instructed to consume one bottle of sports drink (500 ml) daily (total consumption of tea catechins in the active group = 540 mg/d). Subjects will be
Background and Introduction It has long been known that increased intake of plant products results in reduced risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, which are the most important causes of death and disability in Western societies. This protective effect has been found to correlate with
Obesity is the result of an imbalance between energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE). Thus, two ways to treat obesity are to reduce EI or increase EE. Bioactive food ingredients affecting energy metabolism, e.g. EE, fat oxidation, satiety and EI may help people to successfully control or
