saccharin and Weight Gain

saccharin has been researched along with Weight Gain in 29 studies

Saccharin: Flavoring agent and non-nutritive sweetener.
saccharin : A 1,2-benzisothiazole having a keto-group at the 3-position and two oxo substituents at the 1-position. It is used as an artificial sweetening agent.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Sucrose and saccharin consumption led to increased body weight across the 12-wk intervention (Δweight = +1."9.30A randomized controlled trial contrasting the effects of 4 low-calorie sweeteners and sucrose on body weight in adults with overweight or obesity. ( Higgins, KA; Mattes, RD, 2019)
"In a previous study, we showed that saccharin can induce weight gain when compared with sucrose in Wistar rats despite similar total caloric intake."7.83Sweet taste of saccharin induces weight gain without increasing caloric intake, not related to insulin-resistance in Wistar rats. ( Ballard, CR; Bertoluci, MC; de Matos Feijó, F; Foletto, KC; Marques Ribeiro, MF; Melo Batista, BA; Neves, AM, 2016)
" Sucrose and saccharin consumption led to increased body weight across the 12-wk intervention (Δweight = +1."5.30A randomized controlled trial contrasting the effects of 4 low-calorie sweeteners and sucrose on body weight in adults with overweight or obesity. ( Higgins, KA; Mattes, RD, 2019)
"In a previous study, we showed that saccharin can induce weight gain when compared with sucrose in Wistar rats despite similar total caloric intake."3.83Sweet taste of saccharin induces weight gain without increasing caloric intake, not related to insulin-resistance in Wistar rats. ( Ballard, CR; Bertoluci, MC; de Matos Feijó, F; Foletto, KC; Marques Ribeiro, MF; Melo Batista, BA; Neves, AM, 2016)
" Our results indicate that intermittent and daily SDS procedures attenuated body weight gain, induced adrenal hypertrophy, and reduced the preference for saccharin, a sweet solution preferred by normal rats."3.775-HT1B mRNA expression after chronic social stress. ( Furay, AR; McDevitt, RA; Miczek, KA; Neumaier, JF, 2011)
" Our results demonstrated that chronic intake of sweeteners significantly impaired PAL performance in all groups."1.48Evaluation of long-term effects of artificial sweeteners on rat brain: a biochemical, behavioral, and histological study. ( Erbaş, O; Erdoğan, MA; Eroglu, HA; Gürkan, FT; Khalilnezhad, A; Solmaz, V; Taskiran, D; Yiğittürk, G, 2018)
" The present set of experiments examined the dose-response and sex-related differences induced by repeated binge ethanol administration during adolescence on sweetened ethanol (Experiment 1) or saccharin (Experiment 2) intake in young adulthood."1.36Repeated binge ethanol administration during adolescence enhances voluntary sweetened ethanol intake in young adulthood in male and female rats. ( Alipour, KK; Kirstein, CL; Maldonado-Devincci, AM; Michael, LA, 2010)
"Body weight gains were also greater in the sugar-fat group than in the fat and sugar groups."1.28Hyperphagia in rats produced by a mixture of fat and sugar. ( Lucas, F; Sclafani, A, 1990)
