Body weight and lipid lowering effects of Pu-erh tea. a Pu-erh tea reduced the body weight of mice with either normal diet or HFD for 26 weeks. n = 8 individuals/group. Data in ND and HFD groups were compared to ND + PTea and HFD + PTea groups, respectively. b The total energy intake of normal diet or HFD fed mice after 26 weeks of tea intervention. n = 8 individuals/group. c Pu-erh tea reduced serum lipids of mice with either normal diet or HFD for 26 weeks. n = 8 individuals/group. d Pu-erh tea reduced hepatic TG and TC contents of mice with either normal diet or HFD. n = 8 individuals/group. e Pu-erh tea reduced serum lipids of human subjects after 4 weeks of consumption. n = 13 individuals/group. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. Differences of data in mice and human subjects were assessed by the Mann–Whitney U test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test, respectively, *p < 0.05, #p < 0.005
