Theaflavin-3,3′-digallate, a black tea polyphenol, stimulates lipolysis associated with the induction of mitochondrial uncoupling proteins and AMPK–FoxO3A–MnSOD pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Phytochemicals have gained an immense interest in obesity management. Previously, we have shown that theaflavin-3,3′-digallate (TF3), a black tea polyphenol, prevents adipocyte-triggered metaflammation. Here, we demonstrate that TF3 attenuates triacylglycerol accumulation in adipocytes, concomitant...
