AbstractSe and green tea have been shown in epidemiological, observational and preclinical studies to be inversely related to the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there are limited studies to evaluate their regulatory effects on genes/proteins that relate to CRC oncogenesis in human subjects, such as selenoproteins, WNT signalling pathway, inflammation and methylation. This study examined the effects of supplementation of Se using Brazil nuts and green tea extract (GTE) capsules, alone and in combination, on targeted biomarkers. In total, thirty-two volunteers (>50 years of age) with plasma Se≤1·36 µmol/l were randomised to one of three treatment groups: nine to Se (approximately 48 µg/d) as six Brazil nuts, eleven to four GTE capsules (800 mg (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate) and twelve to a combination of Brazil nuts and GTE. Blood and rectal biopsies were obtained before and after each intervention. Plasma Se levels, rectal selenoprotein P (SePP) and β-catenin mRNA increased significantly in subjects consuming Brazil nuts alone or in combination, whereas rectal DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) and NF-κB mRNA were reduced significantly in subjects consuming GTE alone or in combination. None of the interventions significantly affected rectal acetylated histone H3 or Ki-67 expression at the protein level or plasma C-reactive protein. Effects of the combination of Brazil nuts and GTE did not differ from what would be expected from either agent alone. In conclusion, supplementation of Brazil nuts and/or GTE regulates targeted biomarkers related to CRC oncogenesis, specifically genes associated with selenoproteins (SePP), WNT signalling (β-catenin), inflammation (NF-κB) and methylation (DNMT1). Their combination does not appear to provide additional effects compared with either agent alone.

Green tea is known as a plant who has many purpose as well as an antioxidant sources. The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of adding green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract in beef nuggets on chemical properties (moisture content, fat content, and polyphenol content). This research is an experimental research using completely randomized design method with 4 treatments and 5 repetition. The treatment that given was P1= beef nugget with no added green tea extract, P2= beef nugget + 0,5% green tea extract, P3= beef nugget + 1% green tea extract, and P4= beef nugget + 1,5% green tea extract with 5 repetition. Chemical analysis that used in this research is moisture content analysis, fat content, and polyphenols content. The obtained results then tested with anova, duncan, and polynomial test. The results showed that the treatment had a significantly real effect on polyphenols content but not on the moisture content and fat content. The addition of 1,5% green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract increase the polyphenol content of 305,96 mg/kg and influence 80,79% of the polyphenol content.

Background: Overweight and obesity can cause high body fat total and lipid profile in the blood that brings risk for diseases to the bearer. Some studies on green tea extract supplementation have been undertaken to find out its effect on the fat reduction in children, men, and mice and the result showed a reduction in body fat, weight, appetite, and triglyceride level. This study uses green tea extract supplemented to overweight and obese women. Objective: To find out the reduction of body fat total and lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL) in the blood of overweight and obese women personnel of Yogyakarta Municipal Health Office supplemented with green tea extract.Method: The study was randomized double-blinded control trial. The subject of the study was overweight and obese women of 35-55 years old personnel of Yogyakarta Municipal Health Office. Samples were 86 women randomly taken, comprising experiment group and control group, each of which consisting of 43 women. Each group had diet according to individual appetite. Both groups were given capsules of similar form and color but different ingredients: placebo and green tea extract. The experiment took three months. Blood was taken before and after the experiment to identify lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL). Body fat total was examined using body fat analyzer. Data analysis used paired t-test.Results: Green tea extract supplementation could significantly reduce body fat total and insignificantly reduce cholesterol level, triglyceride, and LDL, significantly increase HDL in overweight and obese women.Conclusion: Green tea extract supplementation could reduce body fat total and increase HDL (p<0.005).

In last decade there has been an increase prevalence of overweight adolescents. Various strategies and products have been evaluated in effort to prevent and treat overweight using Green Tea Extract (GTE) and Senobi Breathing Exercise (SBE). However, the effect of GTE and SBE on decreasing adolescent body fat percentage in acute conditions when combined are unknown. The method used quasi experimental with control group design. The research conducted in Gymnasium laboratory of the Politeknik Unggulan Kalimantan in March 2020. The samples used were aged 18-21 years with BMI 25-29.9. Determination of samples using Federer's formula: (t-1) (n-1) ?15 obtained 4 treatment groups with a sample size of each group are 10 people that divided into: (a) overweight GTE; (b) overweight SBE; (c) overweight GTE and SBE; (d) overweight control . Measurement percentage of body fat in acute conditions shortly after treatment utilize Body Fat Monitor Scale GEA Medical EF 981. Statistical Test using Krusskall Wallis , the results obtained were P> 0.05, which indicates that there was no significant effect of GTE and SBE to reduce prevalence of adolescent body fat in acute conditions. Further research is needed to find out the correct protocol.
