Eficácia e tolerabilidade das substâncias calorigênicas: ioimbina, triiodotironina, aminofilina combinada a efedrina e fenilpropanolamina no tratamento da obesidade a curto prazo

Abstract: RESUMOObjetivo: Determinar a eficácia e tolerabilidade de 4 substâncias calorigênicas: ioimbina, triiodotironina (T3), combinação efedrinaaminofilina e fenilpropanolamina (FPA). Material, Métodos e Desenho da Pesquisa: 103 mulheres obesas (30 < BMI < 40kg/m 2 ), de 18 a 55 anos, foram submetidas a estudo cego comparativo das 4 substâncias associadas a uma dieta com 1.200 calorias (55% HC, 30% gordura e 15% proteínas). As doses utilizadas foram 8mg de ioimbina, 25mcg de T3, 100mg de aminofilina + 25mg de efedri… Show more

“…In Brazil, experience with this agent is more limited. Only one study assessing the possible thermogenic effect of phenylpropanolamine did not report any energy expenditure increase (74), which is consonant with one 12‐week, blind study carried out in our group to evaluate 103 obese women under treatment with a hypocaloric diet, with three daily administrations of capsules containing placebo, yohimbine (8 mg), T 3 (25 µg), phenylpropanolamine (25 mg), or a combination of ephedrine (25 mg) and aminophylline (100 mg) (75). Only patients receiving phenylpropanolamine reported weight loss significantly higher than the placebo group, even though no difference was observed in the resting metabolic rate, as measured by using indirect calorimetry (75).…”

“…In a more recent study, 17 women were evaluated whose BMI was 34.5 kg m −2 and body weight 87.2 kg. Weight loss reached 5.6 kg by using the combination of 300 mg aminophylline and 75 mg ephedrine in three daily doses (75).…”
