Although there was no significant change in BW gain or total
visceral fat weight in diet-induced obese mice treated with EGCG
for 4 wk, there was significant decrease in the weight of the
mesenteric depot of visceral fat. Previous studies showed that
EGCG significantly reversed total body fat percentage, subcutaneous
fat weight, and epididymal fat weight in high-fat–fed mice
(12,13).
