Changes in FOX did not reach the level of statistical significance .
Finding showed that EGCG intake moderately accelerates EE and reduces RQ .
The analyses revealed that the EGCG result ed in difference in RQ and EE but the effect on the other measures of energy metabolism was relatively mild .
Possibly , EGCG alone has the potential to increase metabolic rate at 300 mg dose .
Collectively , the outcome supports the findings that EGCG has an effect on metabolic parameters .
Green tea catechins ( GTCs ) are known to improve fat oxidation ( FOX ) during fasted , rested and exercise conditions wherein epigallocatechin-3-gallate ( EGCG ) is thought to be the most pharmacologically active and has been studied extensively .
From the available data of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) on EGCG , we carried out a systematic review and meta- analysis to eluci date whether EGCG consumption indeed increase energy expenditure ( EE ) and promote FOX .
The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias in randomised trials
Flaws in the design , conduct , analysis , and reporting of r and omised trials can cause the effect of an intervention to be underestimated or overestimated . The Cochrane Collaboration ’s tool for assessing risk of bias aims to make the process clearer and more
