South Korean researchers examined the effects of fermented green tea extract on the differentiation of fat cells (adipogenesis) and the synthesis of fatty acids (lipogenesis). They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that FGT is a novel functional food that can be used to control adiposity and lipid metabolism.
