Research Abstract	The single administration of selected black tea and yogurt fermented by probiotic lactic acid bacteria suppressed the postprandial blood glucose elevation in normal mice loaded with soluble starch. The continuous administration of the black tea and probiotic yogurt suppressed the body weight gain and white fat accumulation, and lowered blood pressure, blood glucose and serum triacylglycerole in high-fat diet fed rats. Thus, it is possible that the probiotic lactic acid bacteria and black tea may show inhibitory effect on metabolic syndrome.
