Alterations in body composition, energetic expenditure and
satiety provided by green tea, verified in other studies, were not
observed in the present study. This indicates that consumers
who obtain green tea in the local market and who ingest similar
doses as the one used in our study would not reach the desired
effects. However, the administration time of green tea capsules
in this study was only four weeks, less than the administration
time of other studies (12 weeks) that noted alterations in body
composition, energy expenditure and satiety [7,9,10].
