N11, Tl). DHEAS also reportedly has an antiobesity effect (N8). More recently, Lane and associates (L3) reported that, as with humans, male and female rhesus monkeys exhibit a steady, age-related decrease in serum DHEAS concentration. They also noted that the proportional age-related loss of DHEAS in rhesus monkeys is more than twice the decline rate observed in humans. More importantly, they found that caloric restriction slows the postmaturational decline in serum DHEAS levels, thereby providing the first evidence that nutritional intervention has the potential to alter certain aspects of postmaturation aging in a long-lived species. 

Although significant strides have been directed at reducing fat content in food products, certain lipid ingredients and sources of fatty acids are used to enhance the health and nutritional quality of foods. For example, CLA isomers were enriched in both dairy and nondairy products to convey its anticancer and antiobesity effects that were reported repeatedly in animal studies (39). Sources of n-3 PUFAs are also added directly to infant formula to provide sufficient DHA for normal development of the nervous system during early infancy. In the United States, DHA was approved by the FDA in 2001 to be added into infant formula (40, 41).

Studies on the health benefits of pu-erh tea are quite scarce. Recently, a few reports describing the hypolipidemic and antiobesity effects of pu-erh tea have appeared. - Meanwhile, Chinese folk medicine has described several health benefits for this beverage, but the experimental and clinical evidence for these benefit effects is incomplete. Additional investigations should be carried out in order to confirm these claims. 

Recently, research on the biomedical activity of pu-erh tea has focused on its antibacterial, antioxidative, lipid-lowering, and antiobesity effects. Many in vitro studies have shown that pn-erh tea has antioxidative activity. Lin et al. reported that the water extract of pn-erh tea (100 pg/ml) can protect the plasmid DNA from strand breakage indnced by the Fenton reaction as well as the control, regardless of total catechin content. Dnh et al reported that pn-erh tea water extract with less cat-echins (8.01 mg/ml), compared to green tea water extract with more catechins (79.1 mg/ml), could still chelate metal ions, scavenge DPPH radicals, and decrease nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. 

MCF-7 cells, since several FAS inhibitors have been shown to be potent antitnmor agents and FAS is the key enzyme for controlling lipogenesis and body weight gain. Recent resnlts indicate that tea and tea polyphenols may indnce hypolipidemic and antiobesity effects throngh suppressing FAS expression.
