Investigating the Hepatic Response to Orlistat and White Tea in Rats on a High-Fat Diet.

ABSTRACT: High-fat diets have detrimental health impacts that increase the likelihood of developing obesity and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to examine the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of orlistat and white tea in rats fed a high-fat diet. Thirty-two rats were randomized into four groups: control (standard diet), HFD (high-fat diet), HFD+Orlistat (high-fat diet+orlistat), and HFD+WT (high-fat diet+white tea extract). A significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and a decrease in total thiol (TT) levels were detected in the HFD group (p < 0.001). On the other hand, a decrease in the MDA level (p < 0.001) and an increase in the TT level were observed in the orlistat and white tea groups compared with those in the HFD group (p < 0.001). Hist
