Popis: Purpose The aim of this study was to examine if catechin‐rich green tea abrogates the negative effects of 7‐days of physical inactivity and excessive calorie‐intake on insulin homeostasis and peripheral vascular function. Methods Using a randomized, double‐blind, crossover design, twelve healthy men (29 ± 6 yrs) underwent 7‐days unhealthy lifestyle (UL), including physical inactivity (−50% steps/day) and overfeeding (+50% kcal/day). This was combined with green tea consumption (UL‐tea; 3 doses/day) or placebo (UL‐placebo). Before and after each intervention, we examined postprandial blood glucose and insulin (3‐h after a 1,202 kcal meal) and upper and lower limb vascular function (flow‐mediated dilation (FMD%)) and carotid artery reactivity (CAR%). Results UL‐placebo increased postprandial glucose and insulin, while UL‐tea decreased postprandial glucose and insulin (Time*Intervention interaction effects: both p 0.05) for brachial FMD%. Conclusion Seven days of physical inactivity and overfeeding impair insulin homeostasis and vascular function. These effects were mitigated by a daily intake of catechin‐rich green tea.
The aim of this study was to examine if catechin‐rich green tea abrogates the negative effects of short‐term physical inactivity and excessive calorie‐intake on insulin homeostasis and peripheral vascular function. Twelve healthy men (29 ± 6 yrs) underwent 7‐days unhealthy lifestyle (UL), including physical inactivity (−50% steps/day) and overfeeding (+50% kcal/day) combined with green tea consumption (UL‐tea; 3 doses/day) or placebo (UL‐placebo). UL‐placebo increased post‐prandial glucose and insulin, while UL‐tea decreased post‐prandial glucose and insulin. UL‐placebo decreased carotid artery reactivity and lower limb vascular function, while UL‐tea prevented these effects. Seven days of physical inactivity‐ and overfeeding‐induced impairments in insulin homeostasis and vascular function were mitigated by daily intake of catechin‐rich green tea.
