Friday, 15 May 2009 Concern over increases in obesity-related diseases prompted research into the effects of white tea on the human body. Researchers in Germany conducted in-vitro studies to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying fat metabolism, more specifically the effect of white tea on cultured human subcutaneous preadipocytes and adiopocytes (fat cells).
The findings, published this month in Nutrition & Metabolism, found that white tea effectively inhibits adipogenesis (the production of fat) and stimulates lipolysis activity (the destruction of fats). According to the abstract, this means white tea “can be utilized to modulate different levels of the adipocyte life cycle.”
If you'd like to see the full study and abstract please let me know and I'll provide that info to you!
Yes I would like to see some more info on this study!
