The Metabolism of Weight Loss
This formula helps to correct fat cell metabolism by promoting a state of fat utilization rather than storage. It is particularly useful for what is known as the classic Venus body type, where fat storage is concentrated around the hips, thights and buttocks. Likewise, for individuals who lose weight - only to have it return - this formula is of particular benefit.The primary focus of this formula is to establish a metabolic environment where breakdown and utilization of fat (adrenergic - receptor mediated lipolysis) is enhanced due to an increase of available cAMP. Two primary adrenergic receptor is couple positively to adenylate cyclase, whereas the alpha-2 sites are negatively coupled to the enzyme. The underlying strategy of this botanical formula utilizes these receptors. The approach is three fold:
1. To block the alpha-2 adrenergic sites - thereby reducing their impact of decreasing cyclic AMP.
2. Activate beta-1 sites to encourage the formation of cyclic AMP.
3. Prevent the breakdown of cyclic AMP via phosphodiesterase inhibition.
In summary, this compound serves to elevate intra-cellular cyclic AMP levels via those receptor-dependent and independent mechanisms associated with forskolin (from Coleus forskohlii). Additionally, the inhibition of the phosphodiesterase regulated hydrolysis of the cyclic AMP nucleotide to its ester group allows cAMP to be more available. This strategy results in a net increase of cyclic AMP and an associated increase of lipolysis, or the conversion of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols. This is the form of fat that is utilized rather than stored.
