NCT06401161

Brief Summary

To study the effect of Pu'er tea in overweight / obese patients with blood glucose or abnormal lipid metabolism. Compared with the effect of two Pu'er tea with different tea fuscin content in improving glucose and lipid metabolism, to investigate the mechanisms of bile acid metabolism and intestinal flora regulation. In a prospective randomized controlled clinical study, 90 patients were divided into study group (3T Pu'er tea group, 45 patients) and control group ( traditional Pu'er tea group,45 patients). Before and after the treatment(0day, 12 weeks, 52 weeks) patients' markers of glucose and lipid metabolism were examined and compared.

  • Intestinal flora detection

    Polymerase Chain Reaction amplification was carried out in the v1-v9 variable region of the 16S rRN gene using universal primer (27F-1492R), and sequencing was conducted in the Illumina novaseq platform. The 16S rRNA amplicon sequence was processed using QIIME2. VSEARCH software was adopted to splice, filter, and remove chimeras from the original sequence to obtain the effective sequences. Clustering was performed according to the 99% similarity of the sequences to obtain the operational taxonomic units (OTU). Based on the Silva NR99 132 database, the representative sequences were analyzed and annotated. The OTU list was generated. The abundance and classification of all OTUs in the samples were recorded.

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The recommended method for consuming 3T Pu-erh tea is as follows: according to individual preferences, once a day, 8 g/time, or twice a day, 4 g/time, using a 300 mL stew cup; Steep the tea in 200 mL of boiling water for 60-90 seconds and consume. The tea can be brewed multiple times, replacing regular water intake. Ensure that the entirety of the liquid in the cup is consumed during each session.
