Uses and mode of action :

Green Tea EGCG works to reduce body weight via a number of different mechanisms.

Green Tea EGCG can inhibit the absorption of both glucose and lipids in the small intestine because catechins inhibit the SGLT1 transporter and lipase enzyme repectively.In addition catechins are able to act on the liver where they decrease the synthesis of lipids(de novo lipogenesis)as well as increase their oxidation.They may also be able to increase the storage of glycogen in the liver,reducing blood sugar levels.In skeletal muscle,catechins increase insulin sensitivity by up regulating glucose transporters,thus increasing the catabolism of carbohydrates,In contrast,in  adipose tissue,catechins may decrease the uptake of glucose by inhibition of glucose transporters.In both skeletal muscle and adipose tissue,fatty acid oxidation may be increased in the presence of catechins from tea.

The caffeine in the drug has centrally stimulating and antidepressive effect (adenosine antagonism)Adenosine antagosim leads to dilation of the renal vessels with a consecutive increase of the rate of filteration (diuresis)

There is clinical evidence that Green Tea EGCG has cancer preventive effects.The types of cancer that Green Tea has been shown to prevent as demonstrated in well controlled clinical studies include cancers of pancreas,colon,samll intestine ,stomach,brast and lung
