Catechins and Caffeine Inhibit Fat Accumulation in Mice through the Improvement of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism
Figure 1
Effects of catechins, EGCG, and caffeine on weights of body, liver, and intraperitoneal adipose tissues in mice. (a) Weights of body, liver, and intraperitoneal adipose tissues (IPAT) in mice fed the diets containing 0.3% catechins, 0.05% caffeine, 0.3% catechins + 0.05% caffeine for 4 weeks. (b) Weights of body, liver, and IPAT in mice fed the diets containing 0.1% EGCG, 0.05% caffeine, 0.1% EGCG + 0.05% caffeine for 4 weeks. The means and SE for 10 mice are plotted. *, ** Significant difference compared with the control (*, **).
