Why does eating feel so good? The US researchers feel that
the answer lies in the head and not the stomach. Tests on
rat show that the appetite hormone Ghrelin acts on pleasure
receptors in the brain.
Ghrelin is produced in the gut and triggers the brain to promote
eating. Several hormones are known to be involved in eating
and appetite, and studies have shown that influencing them
can affect weight gain. However, the trial has been on rats
and mice and influencing human eating behavior has proven
far more difficult.
However, experts feel it might be possible to design a drug
that interferes with Ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue
1 receptor or GHSR and help better diet drugs thus helping
people with eating disorders.
Even though there are a number of diet
drugs available in the market like Phentermine, Adipex,
Didrex, Meridia, Acomplia and many more, none of them have
been advised for long term use and sometimes a short period
of four to six weeks is not enough in the management of chronic
obesity cases.
Phentermine diet pills have been there in the market for
a very long time. Phentermine was first approved by the FDA
in 1959. It is still one of the most common prescribed drugs
for weight loss. It is an appetite suppressant and doctors
advice exercise and diet control along with Phentermine for
effective results.
Though all these drugs are approved by FDA, side effects
still remain a cause of concern as the clinical trials are
for short periods. A few years ago fen-phen reported side
effects which caused severe disabilities from heart valve
disorders thus causing many deaths. It was later withdrawn
from the market. Phentermine is still available in the market
under the brand name Adipex and also under its generic name
Phentermine.
Phentermine, like many other drugs, works as a neurotransmitter
in the brain. It stimulates neuron bundles to release a particular
group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamine. The neurotransmitters
signal a flight response in the body which, in turn, puts
a halt to the hunger signal. As a result, it causes a loss
of appetite because the brain does not receive the hunger
message.
Phentermine and its brand names are widely available on internet
pharmacies. One can take Phentermine very easily and one might
even get Phentermine
Diet Pills as compared to the drug store. Most of the
Phentermine online are produced of relatively familiar
ingredients. One must be extremely careful while buying these
prescription drugs online.
