diazepam and Weight Gain

diazepam has been researched along with Weight Gain in 11 studies

Diazepam: A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID activity.
diazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one substituted by a chloro group at position 7, a methyl group at position 1 and a phenyl group at position 5.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Changes in body weight (BW) in female rats treated for 5 weeks (wk) with weekly subcutaneous implantation of silastic capsules containing different benzodiazepines (BZs): diazepam (DZ) 90, 180, 360 and 540 mg wk-1; nordiazepam (ND) 600 mg wk-1; oxazepam (OX) 600 mg wk-1 and flunitrazepam (FN) 540 mg wk-1 and in male rats exposed to DZ (540 mg wk-1) were evaluated herein."3.70The effect of chronic benzodiazepines exposure on body weight in rats. ( Jing, X; Sloan, JW; Wala, EP, 1998)
"Treatment with diazepam has recently been gaining favor, particularly because of reported adverse effects of progestins."2.67Comparison of diazepam with progestin for effectiveness in suppression of urine spraying behavior in cats. ( Cooper, L; Hart, BL, 1992)
"Diazepam treatment (10 mg/kg/d) elevated the contents of SFA and MUFA in plasma PL."1.29The effect of ethanol and diazepam on the fatty acid composition of plasma and liver phospholipids in the rat. ( Lalić, Z; Mirić, M; Ristić, V; Vrbaski, S, 1995)
" Acute and chronic administration of psychotropic drugs (imipramine and chlordiazepoxide) showed that treatment with imipramine increased both the number of lever presses and successful escapes while chlordiazepoxide increased only the number of lever presses."1.29Evaluation of depression in rats exposed to chronic (unpredictable) electric shock. ( Hara, C; Naruo, T; Nozoe, S; Ogawa, N; Tanaka, H, 1993)
" These investigations are in agreement with the hypothesis that extended or chronic use of drugs such as diazepam may alter membrane-dependent processes."1.29Liver, plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid content after chronic diazepam treatment in the rat. ( De Luka, SR; Petrović, G; Ristić, V; Tepsić, V; Vrbaski, SR, 1996)
