How much does Pu-erh tea / Theabrownin reduce cholesterol?

I read this article thoroughly.

Theabrownin from Pu-erh tea attenuates hypercholesterolemia via modulation of gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism - Nature Communications

Pu-erh tea displays cholesterol-lowering properties. Here, Huang et al. show that this is mostly due to the action of a pigment in Pu-erh tea that induces changes in certain gut microbiota and bile acid levels, thus modulating the gut-liver metabolic axis.

However, while the authors refer to "significant TC (total cholesterol) reduction in humans" there isn't a single graph or numbers set that illustrates the effect. Can someone with a sharper eye or who knows their way around interpreting these papers do a quick dig and see if they can find an answer?

In the meantime, I will be consuming ~5g (50mg/kg HED) of tea every day to see if I get these cholesterol lowering effects.

Congrats to you if you read it thoroughly. A masterpiece of mechanistic reductionist OCD.
In such studies "significant" effect has a clearly defined meaning. Not necessarily a relatively large effect.
For humans the data is in 1e, I believe.
References 2 & 3 have more blood lipids effects data for rats.

More impressive in this dyslipidemia arena, a study with Wistar rats or mice?
Substitution of sorghum flour at 5% in the diet doubled the HDL-C compared to control and high cholesterol diets.
