Does ECA work by raising your body temp and helping you sweat some fat? If so, Does taking ECA and being in an air conditioned office not work? IP: Logged |

If I understand it correctly, first you lose weight in the form of water. Over time, the stimulants help you to burn more "fuel" by increasing your metabolic rate. Where you work shouldn't matter. If I'm not on target, I hope someone can correct me. IP: Logged |

the caffiene works as a diuretic...ever noticed that you get the runs from too much caffiene...then the combo of caffeine, ephedrine or norephedrine, and yohimbine increases the catecholamines in your body...increases you calorie expediture...hence you get hotter because of increase metabolism and energy being released as heat...correct me if I am wrong guys IP: Logged |

Ephedrine is a beta adrenergic agonist, meaning it binds and activates this class of receptor. It also causes the release of norepinephrine from the nerve terminals, which likewise act upon the adrenergic system. At the beta2 receptor norepi and ephedrine act to increase the activity of cAMP, an intracellular messenger, which increases the activity of the cell. On adipocytes this activation increases lipolysis, to release free fatty acids. The E/C combo increases metabolism approximately 3%. This increased energy expenditure and liberation of fatty acids increases the use of fatty acids for energy. There is also a temporary increase in the conversion of T4-T3, thus increasing metabolism further. Caffeine's role is that of adenosine inhibition. Adenosine is a chemical that binds to adenosine receptors and reduce norepi output from the nerves, so blocking these receptors increases the norepi liberation. Aspirin's role is prostaglandin inhibition. PGE has been shown to reduce norepi release from the nerve terminals, so inhibiting it's formation increases norepi release. IP: Logged |
