Abstract

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible biochemical improving effect in lipid metabolic profile and organ function profiles that may result from continuous treatment with iced Camellia sinensis extract (Black tea) in normal albino rats and those rendered hyperlipidemic by long term supplementation of fat-enriched diet. Albino rats of both sexes were used and grouped into seven groups; each consists of ten animals with different treatments. Blood samples were taken for biochemical analysis on days 30, 45 and 60 of the experiment. Iced black tea significantly decreased the elevated serum lipid parameters including total lipid, triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL-C, VLDL-C concentrations of rats fed on fat-enriched diet. However, it insignificantly affected their values in serum of negative control rats. In addition, iced black tea significantly increased the serum HDL-C concentration of rats fed on fat-enriched diet with insignificant changes in their values in serum of negative control rats. Administration of iced black tea to normal rats caused insignificant changes in serum liver enzymes concentration all over the period of the experiment; yet, it significantly decreased their elevated serum concentration in animals fed on fat-enriched diet compared to the +ve untreated ones, upon its administration starting from the day 30th of the experiment. These data suggest that iced Camellia sinensis extract has a good health impact in cases associated with hyperlipidemia.
