Topical fat reduction.

Greenway FL, Bray GA, Heber D.

Department of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine, Torrance, CA, USA.

The fat on women's thighs is more difficult to mobilize due to increased alpha-2 adrenergic receptor activity induced by estrogen. Lipolysis can be initiated through adipocyte receptor stimulation (beta adrenergic) or inhibition (adenosine or alpha-2 adrenergic) or by inhibition of phosphodiesterase. Since many women desire regional thigh fat loss, a series of clinical trials were initiated using one thigh as a double-blinded control. Trial #1: Five overweight women had injections of isoproterenol at intervals around the thigh three times a week for 4 weeks with diet and walking. Trial #2: Five overweight woman had ointment containing forskolin, yohimbine and aminophylline applied to the thigh five times a week for 4 weeks after hypertonic warm soaks with a diet and walking. Trial #3: Eighteen overweight women were divided into three groups of six and trial #2 was repeated with each agent alone vs. placebo using forskolin, yohimbine or aminophylline in separate ointments. Trial #4: Thirty overweight women had 10% aminophylline ointment applied to the thigh five times a week for 6 weeks with diet and walking. Chemistry panel, theophylline level and patch testing were performed. Trial #5: Twelve women had trial #4 repeated with 2% aminophylline cream without a diet or walking. Trial #6: Trial #5 was repeated with 0.5% aminophylline cream. All trials except yohimbine ointment gave significantly more girth loss from the treated thigh (p < 0.05 to p < 0.001). Chemistry panel showed no toxicity. Theophylline was undetectable and patch testing was negative. We conclude that topical fat reduction for women's thighs can be achieved without diet or exercise.

So is this saying that everything EXCEPT the yohimbine cream worked?

thats absolutely what the study (if you can call it that) says.

whats really amusing is that several companies use that study to sell products that contain yohimbine. Guess reading is not their strong suit.

the study is, as you might have guessed, flawed.

one does not measure fat loss by girth.. EVER.. super hokey science (how it got published???... must be weak or no peer review)

of course diuretics will decrease water and thus girth. Yohimbine on the other hand is an anti-diuretic and thus even with fat loss will increase or "maintain" girth. In some cases up to 2wk (hence part of the reason for the evolution of the DF)..

wow..that is admittedly one dumb fucking study

How long do the results last using the yohimburn on your face before having to treat it again?

really varies.. though unless bulking or over eating results should be semi permanent (ie. the fat loss will be "real"... variations in genetics, diet and enviroment{estro etc..} will determine if and how quickly fat returns)..

note fat loss (in theory.. somewhat now substantiated by anecdotal reports) from this area should last "longer" than it normally would.. than if you had lost the fat from the area with using yohimburn (partly because you would most likely have had to sacrifice more muscle to achieve the lean state that would make that possible)

BASICALLY ITS AS PERMANENT AS ANY FAT LOSS.. LIKELY MORE PERMANENT THAN IT WOULD BE UNDER OTHER CONDITIONS.

Thanks Macro! That's what I was hoping to hear (read).
