Functional aspects of green tea catechins in the cellular metabolism and their relationship with body fat reduction

The use of tea is widespread, second only to water in worldwide consumption. Green tea is rich in polyphenols, mainly catechins. Among a variety of beneficial health effects attributed to the consumption of the green tea, much attention has been given to its ability to reduce body fat. This study ha...

Green tea is rich in polyphenols, mainly catechins. Among a variety of beneficial health effects attributed to the consumption of the green tea, much attention has been given to its ability to reduce body fat. This study has the objective of presenting a description of the studies of green tea and/or its bioactive compounds related to cell biology and of experimental and epidemiological studies associated with lipid metabolism and the reduction of body fat. Epigallocatechin gallate is the main bioactive compound present in green tea and its anti-obesity effects are being investigated. Such effects are associated with several biochemical and physiological mechanisms and among them thefollowing stands out: stimulation of lipid metabolism by combining catechin intake with regular physical activity. In spite of the promising effect of green tea and its bioactive compounds on the treatment of obesity, there is a need for controlled clinical trials. Finally, a proper diet associated with regular physical activity is the key to prevent obesity and its comorbidities.O chá é uma bebida amplamente utilizada, perdendo apenas para a água como a bebida mais consumida no mundo. O chá verde é rico em polifenóis, principalmente catequinas. Entre uma variedade de efeitos benéficos à saúde atribuídos ao consumo do chá verde, grande atenção tem sido focalizada no seu efeito na redução da gordura corporal. Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar uma descrição dos estudos com o chá verde e/ou seus compostos bioativos relacionados à biologia celular, estudos experimentais e epidemiológicos associados ao metabolismo lipídico e à redução da gordura corporal. Galato de epigalocatequina é o principal composto bioativo presente no chá verde e seus efeitos anti-obesidade estão sendo investigados. Tais efeitos estão associados a diversos mecanismos bioquímicos e fisiológicos, dentre eles podem-se destacar a estimulação do metabolismo lipídico pela combinação da ingestão de catequinas e a prática de exercícios físicos regulares. Apesar do efeito promissor do chá verde e seus compostos bioativos no tratamento da obesidade, estudos clínicos controlados devem ser conduzidos. Finalmente, um plano alimentar adequado associado à prática regular de atividade física constitui a principal ferramenta para a prevenção da obesidade e de suas comorbidade.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9478Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 22 n. 2 (2009): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9478/6845Copyright (c) 2023 Renata da Costa LAMARÃO, Eliane FIALHOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Costa LAMARÃO, Renata FIALHO, Eliane 2023-08-30T16:31:51Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9478Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-30T16:31:51Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
