Int J Food Sci Nutr · 2016 · Meta-analysis / systematic review
Systematic review of green tea epigallocatechin gallate in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of humans

Conclusion: Sub-analysis was performed to compare the EGCG lowering effect on LDL-C between non-obese and obese subjects, EGCG dose, baseline of LDL-C levels, or BMI. We concluded that consumption of green tea EGCG resulted in a significant reduction of LDL-C at any baseline level and any dose between 107 and 856 mg/d, and the effect size was slightly dependent on the baseline lipid level of the subjects.
