Abstract
Concepts to explain the protective effects of green tea catechins, particularly (â)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) the most abundant catechin, on parameters related to the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are available. An increasing number of human studies show potential benefits of green tea catechins on weight management, glucose control, and cardiovascular risk factors.
