a flow rate, (b) total protein, (c) antioxidant capacity, (d) uric acid, (e) thiol content and (f) MDA content after consuming different samples. ‘*’ indicates significant differences in means ± SD between different stages (p < 0.05). Tea samples consumed before, after and after 30 min are denoted as Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, respectively, and are represented by S1, S2 and S3. Consumption of the same sample (black tea or water) was repeated for two days, and saliva from the same volunteer for two days was evenly mixed at the time of the assay.
