PG - 1415-1422 LID - 10.1007/s40618-022-01999-w [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Overweight and obesity are highly prevalent conditions associated with premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. Capsiate, a nonpungent analogue of capsaicin, binds to TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor, which is involved in adipogenesis, and could be effective as a weight-lowering agent. METHODS: Eighteen slightly overweight women were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Nine patients were included in the capsiate intervention group and received 9 mg/day of capsinoids and 9 patients received placebo for 8 weeks. All patients underwent weight and waist circumference assessment before and after treatment. Body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) were also detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS: Fourteen patients completed the study. The treatment with capsiate or placebo for 8 weeks was not associated with significant changes in weight or waist circumference. After treatment, there was a significant improvement in BMD values measured at the spine in the capsiate group (1.158 vs 1.106 g/cm(2), + 4.7%; p = 0.04), but not in the group treated with placebo. Similarly, the capsiate group showed a 9.1% increase (p = 0.05) in the adipose tissue and an 8.5% decrease in lean mass measured at the supraclavicular level, whereas these changes were not statistically significant in the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with capsiate for 8 weeks led to negligible changes in body weight in a small sample of slightly overweight women, but our findings suggest a potential effect of capsaicin on bone metabolism in humans.
