menthol and Obesity

menthol has been researched along with Obesity in 6 studies

Menthol: A monoterpene cyclohexanol produced from mint oils.

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).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In this study, we aimed to evaluate the influence of daily repeated menthol treatments on body mass and thermoregulatory effectors in Wistar rats, considering that menthol is a transient receptor potential melastatin 8 channel agonist that mimics cold sensation and activates thermoregulatory cold-defense mechanisms in mammals, promoting hyperthermia and increasing energy expenditure, and has been suggested as an anti-obesity drug."7.88Short-term menthol treatment promotes persistent thermogenesis without induction of compensatory food consumption in Wistar rats: implications for obesity control. ( Almeida, MC; Armentano, GM; Carrettiero, DC; Cruz-Neto, AP; Ishikawa, DT; Motzko-Soares, ACP; Vizin, RCL, 2018)
"l-Menthol has been also linked to the activation of the cold-gated ion channel TRPA1."5.43Chronic l-menthol-induced browning of white adipose tissue hypothesis: A putative therapeutic regime for combating obesity and improving metabolic health. ( Andrade, CM; Boguszewski, C; Carrillo, AE; Flouris, AD; Jamurtas, AZ; Kawashita, NH; Koutedakis, Y; Metsios, GS; Nadolnik, L; Sakellariou, P; Svensson, PA; Valente, A, 2016)
