Effect modification of green tea on the association between rice intake and the risk of diabetes mellitus: a prospective study in Japanese men and women
Recent observational studies have suggested a positive association of white rice and protective associations of green tea and coffee with the risk of diabetes. However, none have examined the interaction between these dietary factors on the risk of diabetes. We prospectively investigated the effect modification of green tea and coffee on the association between rice and incident diabetes in elderly Japanese men and women. Methods and Study ...

Oral epigallocatechin-3-gallate for treatment of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa: a multicentre, randomized, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare genodermatosis with severe blistering. No curative treatment is available. Scientific data indicated that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea extract, might improve the phenotype of RDEB patients. In a multicentre, randomized, crossover, double-blind, placebocontrolled clinical trial, we evaluated a 4-month oral EGCG treatment regimen in 17 RDEB ...

Long-Term Supplementation of Green Tea Extract Does Not Modify Adiposity or Bone Mineral Density in a Randomized Trial of Overweight and Obese Postmenopausal Women
Abstract
Background: Green tea extract (GTE) consumption has been linked to favorable changes in adiposity and bone mineral
density (BMD), although it is unknown if these effects are due to green tea catechins or caffeine. The catechol-Omethyltransferase
(COMT) genotype may also modify these associations.
Objective: We examined the impact of decaffeinated GTE on body composition (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
...

Long-Term Green Tea Extract Supplementation Does Not Affect Fat Absorption, Resting Energy Expenditure, and Body Composition in Adults
Background: Green tea (GT) extract may play a role in body weight regulation. Suggested mechanisms are decreased fat
absorption and increased energy expenditure.
Objective:We examined whether GT supplementation for 12 wk has beneficial effects on weight control via a reduction in
dietary lipid absorption as well as an increase in resting energy expenditure (REE).
Methods: Sixty Caucasian men and women [BMI (in kg/m2): 18–25 or >25; age: 18–50 y] ...

Green tea influences intestinal assimilation of lipids in humans: a pilot study
OBJECTIVE: Many data show that green tea (GT) consumption has a beneficial effect on human health, including antiinflammatory,
antibacterial and anticarcinogenic activities. However, there are no data on the effect of long-term GT intake on lipid assimilation
not related to luminal processes. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to assess the impact of a three-month diet enriched in green tea
extract (GTE) on lipid digestion and absorption in obese humans with metabolic syndrome.

Green tea extract and its major constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibit growth and halitosis-related properties of Solobacterium moorei
that has been associated with halitosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea extract and its
major constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on growth and several halitosis-related properties of S. moorei.
Methods: A microplate dilution assay was used to determine the antibacterial activity of green tea extract and EGCG
against S. moorei. Their effects on bacterial cell membrane integrity were investigated by ...
