A comparative study on the bioactivities and chemical compositions of Dancong summer tea and Anhua dark tea: Excavation of glycolipid-lowering functional factors.

Drinking tea is beneficial to reduce the incidence of obesity. Unlike Fuzhuan brick tea (DT, a typical dark tea) widely reported to have good glycolipid-lowering activity (GLA), there is little information on GLA of Dancong summer tea (OT, a typical oolong tea). A comparative study on GLA and chemical compositions of OT and DT was systematically conducted.
