Abstract

Green tea (GT) is one of the most popular beverages in the world, which contains numerous polyphenols known as catechins. Because of the high rate of GT consumption in worldwide populations, even small effects on an individual basis could have a large public health impact. Therefore, more and more researches focus on the effects for GT on human health. To date, GT is identified as an important modifier for diabetes, lipid metabolism, and even for some haematological indices. Based on the previous reports, this study tries to investigate the effects of green tea (GT) on the partial haematological and serological indices of the peripheral blood of the healthy people. As a result, GT really affects the level haematological and serological indices of the male and female populations with the habit of long-term GT intake.
