I've heard about this today. It's supposed to help people lose weight & quit
smoking. Any thoughts or comments on this, including it's
pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics? I hear it works on some sort of fat
cells' receptors (?) or something.
thanx

It will work in the brain, not in peripheral tissues for one.
2ndly, I'm under the impression that no human trials have been published.
3rdly, I'm highly dubious of it being that effective in the long run.

Thanks. Yeah, I 'm sure there are some trials goin' on now at most, but I
just heard about it & thought I'd ask here & see if you all have maybe heard
anything special about it.
