We have studied the influence of vitamin C contained in green tea on the lipolysis of well‐differentiated 3T3‐L1 cells. When mature adipocytes were exposed to vitamin C the triglyceride concentration was decreased ( p < 0.05) and the activity of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, a marker of adipose conversion, was significantly inhibited ( p < 0.01). These data suggest that green tea may have a lipolytic activity due to the mechanism by which the vitamin C contained in it inhibits triglyceride accumulation.
