Spot reduction weight loss is a reality with topical applications of the asthma drug aminophylline. This is a dieters dream come true. Studies back the findings, which increases the spot reduction on the body. The studies showed the lypolytic threshold in the different areas of the body result in the fat being stored more than other areas. Lypolitic thresholds are the way the body stores fat in the areas of the body and how it is released into the blood stream. The aminophylline reduces the thresholds in those regions of the body. The study includes 50 men and women ranging in ages 21 to 65. The controlled group and the experimental group both had a reduced caloric diet with the controlled group using 5% aminophylline cream to the waist areas. They rubbed 15 cc of cream twice a day to the waist areas. There were not any significant side effects in the experimental group. At the end of the 12-week period, the experimental group had an average of 6 cm smaller waists compared to the controlled group. The body mass index of the group using the aminophylline as less than the controlled group. The hip to waist ratio was also less in the group using the application. The women in the group using the application have more losses than the men. The fact the experimental group versus the controlled group did not have any differences in the total body weight. The study stated this was due to the redistributed

of the fat mass. Based on the findings of the study it was conclude the aminophylline cream application caused the reduction of fat. The fact the study was funded by a foundation to sell the product is not lost on many weight experts. The fact the application was a cream based product tends to have many believe study used a specialized cream that was formulated specifically for the study and to reduce the risks of rashes in the groups involved with the study. This does not remove the fact the cream will eventually appear on the market to help with spot reduction of weight for many people. The cream may have only reduced the fluid in the fat cells without actually removing the fat cells as the study indicated. The fact that aminophylline was used in the case study requires many to understand the drug itself. Aminophylline is in the xanthine class of drugs. This is the same class as caffeine and vinpocetine. They are stimulants used for asthma and bronchodilators. Aminophylline inhibits the breakdown of camp or cyclic adenosine monophosphate within the cells and based on the research lowers the lypolytic threshold of fat cells. Only time will tell if the FDA approves the cream for use as a weight loss product, yet it is still something to watch if you are a dieter seeking to lose fat in certain areas of your body.
