1. Research on the effects of Pu’er tea in lowering blood lipids indicates: 1) Both raw Pu’er tea and ripe Pu’er tea have a good lipid-lowering effect; 2) Both raw and ripe Pu’er tea have a protective effect on the endothelium of blood vessels. In summary: both raw and ripe Pu’er tea can prevent hyperlipidemia to a significant extent, and the effect of ripe Pu’er tea is noticeably stronger than that of raw Pu’er tea. This may be related to components contained in ripe Pu’er tea, such as theabrownins, tea polysaccharides, and flavonoids. At the same time, unlike drug treatment, using Pu’er tea to prevent and treat hyperlipidemia has fewer side effects.

In summary, it can be concluded that Pu-erh tea has anti-atherosclerotic effects. 3. Experimental study on the hypoglycemic effects of Pu-erh tea in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice:1) Pu-erh tea can reduce fasting and postprandial blood glucose in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.2) Pu-erh tea can also increase insulin levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.Hypoglycemic effects of Pu-erh tea on obese type II diabetic db/db mice:1) Pu-erh tea can lower blood glucose levels in type II diabetic model mice.2) Pu-erh tea does not alter insulin levels in type II diabetic model mice.3) Pu-erh tea can inhibit weight gain in type II diabetic mice.4) Pu-erh tea can improve type II diabetes-related indicators.5) Pu-erh tea can modify fat metabolism and regulate insulin receptor sensitivity in type II diabetic mice, thereby exerting blood glucose-lowering effects.Comprehensive experiments show that Pu-erh tea contains various catechins and polysaccharides, which have multiple effects such as anti-inflammation and antioxidation. Studies have shown that Pu-erh tea has lipid-lowering effects in type II diabetes but does not lower blood glucose in normal tissues. At the same time, Pu-erh tea can serve as an auxiliary health care measure for diabetes, increasing insulin content in type I diabetes, improving insulin receptor sensitivity in type II diabetes, and effectively regulating pathogenic factors, making it a valuable supportive approach.

Research on the effects of ripe Pu’er tea, Tieguanyin, and black tea on the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver shows: 1) From gross specimens, both ripe Pu’er tea and Tieguanyin significantly improve fatty degeneration in experimental rats, with ripe Pu’er tea being the most effective. 2) Pathological tissue examinations show that both ripe Pu’er tea and Tieguanyin significantly improve fatty degeneration in experimental rats, again with ripe Pu’er tea being the most effective. 3) Ripe Pu’er tea, black tea, and Tieguanyin can effectively prevent the occurrence and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Experimental results suggest that drinking Pu’er tea is a simple and practical way to prevent the onset and progression of fatty liver. 6. Study on the free radical scavenging effect of Pu’er tea shows: 1) Pu’er tea can enhance the body’s first line of endogenous antioxidant defense. 2) Pu’er tea can reduce the content of MDA, the end product of lipid peroxidation. The research results indicate that Pu’er tea can enhance antioxidant enzyme activity, reduce lipid peroxidation products, and prevent arteriosclerosis. It can serve as a natural, non-toxic health product or food ingredient with both lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects.
