food - How Does Green Tea Increase Metabolism?

According to the article "Green Tea Supplementation Affects Body Weight, Lipids, and Lipid Peroxidation in Obese Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome", Green tea increases metabolism and fat loss:




Green tea beverage consumption (4 cups/d) or extract supplementation
(2 capsules/d) for 8 weeks significantly decreased body weight and
BMI. Green tea beverage further lowered lipid peroxidation versus age-
and gender-matched controls, suggesting the role of green tea
flavonoids in improving features of metabolic syndrome in obese
patients.




Is there any information available concerning the mechanism of that metabolic increase?
