BACKGROUND: During the last few years, scientific investigations have proposed diet based regimens to prevent several health ailments including @entity28 , @entity1007 and @entity6 . In this regard, a promising tool is the use of functional foods/nutraceuticals. Present research project was an attempt to explore nutraceutical worth of locally grown green tea variety (Qi- @entity1 ) against @entity74 . METHODS: Functional drinks (T2 and T3) were prepared by adding @entity23382 and @entity3089 ( @entity3090 ) @ 550  mg/500  mL and compared with control (T1). These functional drinks were tested in experimental @entity35 modeling (Sprague Dawley). Based on diets, four studies were conducted i.e. trial-I (normal diet), trial-II (high @entity165 diet), trial-III (high @entity969 diet), trial-IV (high @entity165   +   high @entity969 diet). @entity35 were monitored daily for their feed and drink intake while body weight was measured on weekly basis. After period of 56  days @entity35 were sacrificed and evaluated their serum lipid ( @entity165 , LDL and HDL), @entity413 and insulin levels. RESULTS: Results for feed consumption by @entity35 revealed that highest feed intake was recorded in group provided control drink than other groups. However, non significant differences were noted among all groups for drink consumption. Functional drinks resulted in significant reduction in body weight with maximum lowering noted in trial-II and III i.e. 10.73 to 8.49% and 10.12 to 10.49%, respectively. Likewise, @entity165 and LDL were substantially reduced with 14.42% decrease observed in trial-IV and 30.43% in trial-II, respectively. Furthermore, serum @entity413 and insulin levels were also lowered significantly in the trial-III and IV while in trial-I and II differences were non-significant. In contrast to lipid profile, experimental drink containing @entity3090 reduced the trait better than @entity23382 based functional drink. CONCLUSIONS: The drinks supplemented with @entity23382 and @entity3090 are effective against @entity28 , @entity1007 and @entity4854 .
