Black tea consumption has been popular widely across the world. Tea (Camellia sinensis) has been used as a daily beverage since time immemorial. Tea is mainly available in three variants, approximately 76% to 78% of the tea produced and consumed worldwide is black, 20-22% is green and less than 2% is oolong. Tea is an excellent source of polyphenolic compounds, particularly flavonoids. The active components of tea responsible for such biological effects are known to be catechins (known as polyphenols), which constitute seven forms including epigalocatechingallate (EGCg). EGCg is a major catechin compound present in tea extracts and is also the most active form in a variety of biological activities.]. The purpose of this review will focus on the effect of black tea catechins extracted from the Camellia sinensis plant on type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It is hoped that black tea can be consumed in a suitable manner as a supplement to prevent the progression of type 2 diabetes along with imparting other health benefits as well.

Naturally diseased climbing perch Anabas testudineus was confirmed to be caused by Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria by aeromonas isolation medium (AIM), 0/129 vibriostatic agent and esculin hydrolysis. Such naturally diseased koi fish weretreated with four antibiotics: captor (chlortetracycline hydrochloride BP 45%), renamox 15% -Vet (amoxicillin trihydrate BP), oxy-Dox-F (oxytetracycline 20% and + doxycycline 10%), renaquine 20% -Vet (flumequine) at lower, recommended and higher doses were performed to examine the efficacy of the drugs. Captor was given at doses of 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 g/3 litres of water separately. Doses of renamox 15% -Vet were given at 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 g/litre of water. Doses of oxy-Dox-F were 0.8, 1.0 and 1.5 g/Kg body weight and doses of renaquine were 10, 12, and 15 mg/Kg body weight. Among the four antibiotics, effect of captor and renaquine at recommended dose showed the best result where 100% fish were recovered. However, renamox and oxy-Dox-F showed best result at higher dose.
