desipramine and Weight Gain

desipramine has been researched along with Weight Gain in 7 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Three tricyclic antidepressants examined (imipramine, clomipramine and desipramine) did not seem to have the side effect of pathological weight gain in the frequency distribution pattern."5.07Changes in the frequency distribution pattern of body weight in patients with major depression. ( Kato, T; Murashita, J; Shioiri, T; Takahashi, S; Yamada, N, 1993)
" CUS-exposed rats showed depressive-like behavior with reduced weight gain, reduced consumption of sucrose solution, increased immobility in the forced swimming test, and hypolocomotion in an open field."3.78Effect of long-term caffeine administration on depressive-like behavior in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable stress. ( Alova, LH; Nikolov, RP; Pechlivanova, DM; Petkov, VV; Tchekalarova, JD; Yakimova, KS, 2012)
" In this study, we examined the interaction between prolonged exposure to either repeated restraint stress or chronic mild stress with the chronic administration of the antidepressant desipramine on two spontaneous behaviours, in which an involvement of the mesolimbic dopamine system has been suggested: novelty-induced exploratory activity and grooming."1.31Exploratory behaviour and grooming after repeated restraint and chronic mild stress: effect of desipramine. ( Carboni, V; D'Aquila, PS; Peana, AT; Serra, G, 2000)
