Clen/ephedra and cortisol question

[pheenyx1]

Do clen and ephedra elevate cortisol like caffeine does?

Nobody?

I don't have a ton of time to keep searching now, but this study seems to imply it doesn't:

http://www.ajcn.org/content/68/1/42.full.pdf+html

^See p.48, for instance: "FIGURE 3. Cortisol plotted against time during the 3 treatment phases. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used to test for differences in cortisol
concentrations between the treatment phases. No significant differences were detected between the treatment phases (P > 0.10)."

Even though, statistically, that's a pretty damn high P-value (.10)!

As does this one:

But it's a good question.

I'll poke around more later, too.

I would like to say, no, clen/eph don't because they are beta-2 agonists, not non-selective adenosine receptor agonists like caffeine.

AFAIK ephed does. clen does not.
Ephed induces the release of caetcholmines which results in an increase vasopressin and thus acth - which results in elevated cortisol. Of note aspirin reduces vasopressin (as in ecA)
I dont think its of much consequence (within reason of course) . In all honesty cortisol can play (does play) an important role in lipolysis.
