A short review has been made of the experimental studies performed in man, in which the effect of dexfenfluramine (D-F) on resting energy expenditure has been explored. It appears that the extent to which D-F possesses thermogenic properties (in addition to its anorectic effect) still remains controversial. Some investigators found either no significant increase in energy expenditure in response to the drug or a moderate effect in post-absorptive and/or postprandial state. It may be reasonable to assume that the supplementary weight loss observed with D-F as compared to a placebo can be primarily attributed to its anorectic effect rather than to its putative thermogenic effect.
