"The reduction in urine albumin gives us hope that baxdrostat may also help delay kidney damage. This potential is now being tested in two large Phase 3 trials to determine if baxdrostat delays the progression of kidney disease," said Dwyer.

"It's a method that ensures they all receive the exact dose we want to study. If we put it in water, for example, we'd have no way of knowing how much the animal actually ingested," says the researcher.

"If the animals are in a colder environment, the effect of the tea is enhanced by the activation of energy expenditure due to the cold. But by maintaining thermoneutrality, we were able to see the effects of green tea in a 'clean' way, without environmental interference," she explains.

"If a person loses 5% to 10% of their body weight, that's already a lot. So this result in animals is very significant," says the professor.

"One way to assess muscle function is to look at fiber diameter. If it increases, we have more active muscle components. Green tea managed to maintain this diameter, showing that it protects muscle against the harmful effects of obesity," Otton explains.
