Abstracts:

• Weight gain and psychiatric treatment: Is there a role for green tea and conjugated linoleic acid? - Lipids Health Dis. 2007 May 3;6:14 - "Here we report on four cases of social anxiety disorder treated with the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine. Self-administration of conjugated linoleic acid and green tea extract may have influenced objective anthropomorphic measurements; each patient had an unexpected decrease in total body fat mass, a decrease in body fat percentage and an increase in lean body mass. Since weight gain is a common and undesirable side-effect with psychiatric medications, our observation strongly suggests the need for controlled clinical trials using these agents" - See green tea extract at Amazon.com and conjugated linoleic acid at Amazon.com.
