In the study to evaluate the influence of a green tea catechin beverage on body composition and fat distribution in overweight and obese adults during exercise-induced weight loss, participants (n = 132 with 107 completers) were randomly assigned to
receive a beverage containing approximately 625 mg of catechins with 39
mg caffeine or a control beverage (39 mg caffeine, no catechins) for 12
wk. Participants were asked to maintain constant energy intake and
engage in >or=180 min/wk moderate intensity exercise, including
>or=3 supervised sessions per week. Body composition (dual X-ray
absorptiometry), abdominal fat
areas (computed tomography), and clinical laboratory tests were
measured at baseline and wk 12. There was a trend (P = 0.079) toward
greater loss of
body weight in the catechin group compared with the control group;
least squares mean (95% CI) changes, adjusted for baseline value, age,
and sex, were -2.2 (-3.1, -1.3) and -1.0 (-1.9, -0.1) kg, respectively.
Percentage changes in fat
mass did not differ between the catechin [5.2 (-7.0, -3.4)] and control
groups [-3.5 (-5.4, 1.6)] (P = 0.208). However, percentage changes in
total abdominal fat area [-7.7 (-11.7, -3.8) vs. -0.3 (-4.4, 3.9); P = 0.013], subcutaneous abdominal fat
area [-6.2 (-10.2, -2.2) vs. 0.8 (-3.3, 4.9); P = 0.019], and fasting
serum triglycerides (TG) [-11.2 (-18.8, -3.6) vs. 1.9 (-5.9, 9.7); P =
0.023] were greater in the catechin group(1).
