In the study to investigate the effects of green tea on weight reduction in obese Thais, a randomized, controlled trial involving 60 obese subjects (body
mass index, BMI > 25 kg/m2) was conducted. All subjects consumed a
Thai diet containing 3 meals (8373.6 kJ/day) for 12 weeks, prepared by
the Nutritional Unit at Srinagarind Hospital, showed that the diet contained 65% carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 20% fat. Body weight, BMI, body
composition, resting energy expenditure, and substrate oxidation were
measured at baseline, and during weeks 4, 8, and 12 of the study. Serum
levels of leptin and urine VMA were measured at baseline and during the
12th week. Differences over time and between the treatments (green tea or placebo) over time were determined using two-factor ANOVA with repeated measures. In comparing the two groups, differences in weight
loss were 2.70, 5.10, and 3.3 kg during the 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks of
the study, respectively. At the 8th and 12th weeks of the study, body weight
loss was significantly different (P < 0.05). At the 8th week, the
difference in resting energy expenditure was 183.38 kJ/day (P <
0.001), the difference in the respiratory quotient was 0.02 (P <
0.05), and no significant differences existed in satiety score, food
intake, or physical activity. Urine VMA was significantly different in
the 12th week of the study (P < 0.05)(1).
