The effect of caffeine and albuterol on body composition

[Dean Destructo]

<abstracttext label="OBJECTIVE" nlmcategory="OBJECTIVE">Caffeine and ephedrine was an effective combination therapy for weight loss until ephedrine was removed from the market due to safety concerns. This study investigated the combination of caffeine and albuterol as a possibly safer alternative to ephedrine.</abstracttext>
[h=4]METHODS:[/h]<abstracttext label="METHODS" nlmcategory="METHODS">In a series of experiments using cultured adipocytes, rat models, and humans, the effects of caffeine and albuterol on lipolysis, metabolic rate, food intake, and body composition were evaluated.</abstracttext>
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h]<abstracttext label="RESULTS" nlmcategory="RESULTS">Both caffeine and albuterol enhanced lipolysis in cultured adipocytes. Acute treatment of humans with caffeine and/or albuterol increased resting metabolic rate. Longer-term studies of rats revealed a trend for increased metabolic rate with albuterol treatment. There was increased lean mass gain concurrent with decreased fat mass gain with caffeine/albuterol treatment that was greater than albuterol treatment alone.</abstracttext>
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h]<abstracttext label="CONCLUSIONS" nlmcategory="CONCLUSIONS">In rats, albuterol with caffeine produced significantly greater increases in lean body mass and reductions in fat mass without changes in food intake after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Since caffeine and albuterol are approved for the treatment of asthma in children and adolescents at the doses tested and change body composition without changing food intake, this combination may deserve further exploration for use in treating pediatric obesity.

wait, is albuterol easier to get than ephedrine? I thought albuterol was Script only,? Article made it sound like since ephedrine been removed from market , we can all use albuterol, Legally or easily available? Is it?

 

[Presser]

Damn, so the combination of caffeine and albuterol allowed for lean mass gains while losing fat, i dont know about that. I find that hard to believe actualy

 

[Dean Destructo]

I think that it was for sedentary people not trained. Which would make a huge difference.

did they train in this study? or are they saying lean mass gains were made staying sedentary while taking this combo?

Pretty cool info either way, and also albuterol is script right?

 

[Dean Destructo]

It is but it is also available otherwise.

I will be trying this stack in the up coming weeks. Also, albuterol comes in two forms an inhaler and tabs. The inhaler will do nada for you. You will need the tabs.
