Further benefits of Green Tea
EGCG plays an important role in lipid metabolism in whole body physiology as well as at the cellular level.
EGCG directly interacts with plasma membrane proteins and phospholipids which stimulates intracellular signaling pathways. In addition, EGCG is transported to intracellular compartments, cytosol, mitochondria, lysosome, and nucleus where it mediates additional biological actions.
There is one conflict though, EGCG inhibits FAS -fatty acid synthesis, only I see it as more of regulator of FAS.
