C WILSON, S WILSON, P YOUNG - International Journal of Obesity, 1984 - academia.edu
Studies on BRL 26830A in rodents have shown that thermogcnic (3-adrenoceptor agonists
have potential for the therapy of obesity. BRL 26830A reduced body weight gain in ob/ob
micc and fa/fa rats by reducing lipid accumulation. It had no effect on lean body mass. BRL
26830A did not reduce food intake, its antiobesity effect being due to stimulation of energy

26830A did not affect body weight gain in the lean counterparts of the obese animals …
