Research topic
Researchers have examined matcha's effect on body weight, fat oxidation, blood glucose, lipids and fatty liver, mostly in animal models and small human trials, often with a high-fat diet as the experimental stress.
Results are not uniform across studies, and the dose, duration and form of matcha vary widely.
