Biochemical Examination of the Effect of Chronic Oolong Tea Consumption in the Rabbit

Abstract

Three groups of rabbits were given water, normal oolong tea or strong oolong tea. There were no significant differences in the various indices for lipid metabolism and those related to the liver and pancreas functions in the blood serum among the groups of animals at 130 days of the experimental period. It was suggested that chronic consumption of oolong tea was in no way harmful at least in this animals species at the dosages employed in the present study.
