Cold Jasmine tea has benefits against obesity, as well as against intestinal microbial dysbiosis. These conclusions emerge from a study carried out by a group of researchers from the Tianjin Key Laboratory of Food Science and Health of Nankai University (China), published in the scientific journal Nutrients.
To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effects on obesity mediated by CB-JT, the study evaluated serum biochemistry, histology, glucose tolerance, gene expression profile, and intestinal microbial diversity in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD).
The results demonstrated that cold-brewed jasmine tea can significantly attenuate HFD-induced body weight gain, abnormal serum lipid levels, fat deposition, liver injury, inflammatory processes, and metabolic endotoxemia.
