“ EGCG was found to inhibit the induction of key adipogenic biomarkers, including lipoprotein lipase, adiponectin, leptin , fatty acid synthase, and fatty acid binding protein 4.”
“Treatment with EGCG significantly decreased serum calcium, urinary calcium, body weight and body fat, and increased leptin levels in mice with secondary osteoporosis.”
“Furthermore, we demonstrate that EGCG downregulates insulin-like peptide 5 and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, major regulators of glucose metabolism, as well as the Drosophila homolog of leptin , unpaired 2.”
“ EGCG treatment attenuated leptin expression and diminished neointimal formation.”
“In summary, balloon injury induces leptin expression in the carotid artery of rats, and EGCG inhibits leptin expression through the JNK/AP-1 pathway and also attenuates neointimal formation.”

“Treating these mice with EGCG also caused an increase in the serum level of IGFBP-3 while conversely decreasing the serum levels of IGF-I, insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, and leptin.”
“Conclusions: Considering the high prevalence of obesity, this observation provides a rationale for use of curcumin, quercetin and EGCG as antagonists of leptin in the treatment of obese breast cancer patients.”
“Increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation in response to leptin was reduced by the addition of quercetin, curcumin and EGCG.”
