3.2. Amounts of HFD and fluid intake during the experimental
period
The food and fluid intake measured throughout the experimental
period were presented in Table 3. The food intake daily was
significantly higher in CTRL (18.02 ± 0.4 g) and GTGr (17 ± 0.6 g)
than in BTGr (14.4 ± 0.4 g; P < 0.01vs CTRL). The volumes of water,
GTD and BTD consumed were 30.2 ± 0.3; 28.3 ± 0.2 and
27.9 ± 0.3 ml/rat/day for the CTRL, GTGr and BTGr, respectively.
Therefore, at equal volume consumption, the GTD provides 346 mg
TPC or 221 EGCG mg and 73 mg caffeine whereas the BTD provides
121.4 mg TPC and 89 mg caffeine.
