The present study was conducted to investigate whether green tea may improve weight maintenance by preventing or limiting weight regain after weight loss of 5 to 10% in overweight and moderately obese subjects. The study had a randomised, parallel, placebo-controlled design. A total of 104 overweight and moderately obese male and female subjects (age 18–60 years; BMI 25–35kg/m2) participated. The study consisted of a very-low-energy diet intervention (VLED; 2·1MJ/d) of 4 weeks followed by a weight-maintenance period of 13 weeks in which the subjects received green tea or placebo. The green tea contained caffeine (104mg/d) and catechins (573mg/d, of which 323mg was epigallocatechin gallate). Subjects lost 6·4 (sd 1·9) kg or 7·5 (sd 2·2) % of their original body weight during the VLED (P<0·001). Body-weight regain was not significantly different between the green tea and the placebo group (30·5 (sd 61·8) % and 19·7 (sd 56·9)%, respectively). In the green tea treatment, habitual high caffeine consumption was associated with a higher weight regain compared with habitual low caffeine consumption (39 (sd 17) and 16 (sd 11)%, respectively; P<0·05). We conclude that weight maintenance after 7·5% body-weight loss was not affected by green tea treatment and that habitual caffeine consumption affected weight maintenance in the green tea treatment.

Sympathetic Nervous

The role of the sympathetic nervous system in the lateral hypothalamic syndrome of body-weight loss was investigated. Bilateral electrolytic lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) were performed in 90-day-old male albino rats. In experiment 1, the splanchnic nerves were resected at 35 days (right) and 70 days (left) postlesion. In experiment 2, bilateral adrenal demedullations were performed in a second group of rats with LH lesions (LH rats) at 35 days postlesion. The results indicated that lesions of the lateral hypothalamic area lowered body-weight maintenance levels to approximately 87% of nonlesion control values. Bilateral splanchnicetomy produced a significantly greater body-weight loss in nonlesion animals than in LH rats. Following adrenal demedullation, nonlesion rats also reduced body-weight levels whereas LH rats significantly increased weight-maintenance levels. In addition, the adrenal glands of LH rats with sham demedullations weighed significantly more than the adrenals of nonlesion-sham demedullated animals. These data are discussed in relation to metabolic-autonomic mechanisms that may play a role in LH lesion-induced weight loss.

Background.Litramine (IQP-G-002AS) was shown to be effective and safe for weight loss in overweight and obese subjects. However, long-term effectiveness on maintenance of body weight loss has yet to be ascertained.Objective.To assess effect of Litramine on maintenance of body weight loss.Methods.A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial on overweight and obese patients was conducted over two sites in Germany for 24 weeks. Subjects with documented previous weight loss of 3% over the last 3–6 months were randomised to groups given either Litramine (3 g/day) or a matching placebo. Primary endpoints were difference of mean body weight (kg) between baseline and end of study and maintenance of initially lost body weight in verum group, where maintenance is defined as ≤1% weight gain.Results.Subjects who were taking Litramine lost significantly more body weight compared to the subjects taking placebo who gained weight instead (-0.62±1.55 kg versus1.62±1.48 kg,p<0.001). More importantly, 92% of subjects in Litramine group were able to maintain their body weight after initial weight loss, versus 25% in placebo group. No serious adverse events were reported throughout.Conclusion.Litramine is effective and safe for long-term body weight maintenance.Trial Registration.This trial is registered with Clinicaltrials.gov identifier:NCT01505387.
