alprazolam and Obesity

alprazolam has been researched along with Obesity in 4 studies

Alprazolam: A triazolobenzodiazepine compound with antianxiety and sedative-hypnotic actions, that is efficacious in the treatment of PANIC DISORDERS, with or without AGORAPHOBIA, and in generalized ANXIETY DISORDERS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p238)
alprazolam : A member of the class of triazolobenzodiazepines that is 4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine carrying methyl, phenyl and chloro substituents at positions 1, 6 and 8 respectively. Alprazolam is only found in individuals that have taken this drug.

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

" In addition, given its central inhibitory action on the HPA axis, we investigated whether the suppressive capacity of alprazolam (APZ) pretreatment on the hormone response to low-dose AVP challenge and daily urinary free cortisol (UFC) excretion rate may be altered in the presence of obesity."9.11Response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to small dose arginine-vasopressin and daily urinary free cortisol before and after alprazolam pre-treatment differs in obesity. ( Ceroni, L; Gagliardi, L; Gambineri, A; Genghini, S; Pagotto, U; Pasquali, R; Vicennati, V, 2004)
