The scientific journal Frontiers in Nutrition published in 2022 the results of a study jointly conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and the Chinese universities Nankai University of Tianjin and China Agricultural University.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the modulatory effects of oolong tea intervention on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and gut microbiota dysbiosis using an obese mouse model.
The results showed that oolong tea supplementation for 8 weeks with 93.94% polyphenols significantly decreased body weight gain, adipose tissue mass, and serum levels of triglycerides (2.60 mmol/L), cholesterol (5.49 mmol/L), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.61 mmol/L) in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD).
