Real-time energy expenditure (EE; kJ/min, 2A) and RQ (2B) before and after consumption of green tea (Black line) and placebo (Grey line) capsules in subjects carrying a COMTL genotype (Solid line) and COMTH genotype (Dotted line).
Baseline resting energy expenditure and RQ were measured during the first 30 minutes. The vertical dotted line indicates the time that the treatment was given. Values are means (two-factor ANOVA with genotype as factor 1 and treatment as factor 2).

Results of the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for energy expenditure (3A; p<0.01), average respiratory quotient (3B; p<0.01), average fat oxidation (3C; p<0.001) and average carbohydrate oxidation (3D; p<0.001) in the green tea (black) and placebo (white) conditions in fourteen subjects carrying either a COMTH genotype or COMTL genotype.
Values are means, with standard errors represented by vertical bars. *Mean values for green tea were significantly different from placebo condition (two-factor ANOVA with genotype as factor 1 and treatment as factor 2).
