Green Tea Extract has a Protective Effect on Leptin and Lipid Profile Levels Due to the Induction of Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate

Background: Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a progesterone derivative synthesized in the laboratory. This substance has the ability to suppress ovulation, induce endometrial shrinkage, and even affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the reproductive system. Objective: The purp...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a progesterone derivative synthesized in the laboratory. This substance has the ability to suppress ovulation, induce endometrial shrinkage, and even affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the reproductive system. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of administration of green tea extract on reducing visceral fat, increasing leptin levels, and improving the lipid profile in female rats injected with depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). Results: This study was to look into the effects of green tea extract administration on visceral fat reduction, leptin levels, and lipid profile improvement as a result of DMPA administration. Analysis of HDL and LDL levels was performed by spectrophotometry. DMPA induced a significant increase in leptin levels compared with the control group (p  0.05). All doses of green tea extract can reduce this increase, with the highest doses reaching levels comparable to the control group (p > 0.05). DMPA significantly increased LDL levels compared to the control group (p 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that green tea extract can protect the metabolic status through decreased leptin and an improvement of the lipid profile induced by DMPA.
