n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine and Obesity

n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine has been researched along with Obesity in 3 studies

N-Methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine: An N-substituted amphetamine analog. It is a widely abused drug classified as a hallucinogen and causes marked, long-lasting changes in brain serotonergic systems. It is commonly referred to as MDMA or ecstasy.
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine : A member of the class of benzodioxoles that is 1,3-benzodioxole substituted by a 2-(methylamino)propyl group at position 5.

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
" The aims of the present study were 1) to characterize the pharmacodynamic effects of MDMA on plasma insulin and glucose, 2) to examine the effects of insulin on MDMA-induced thermogenesis and 3) to examine MDMA-induced thermogenesis in an animal model of insulin resistance, the obese Zucker rat."1.35Pharmacodynamic characterization of insulin on MDMA-induced thermogenesis.
