Injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) have been claimed to aid in weight reduction by reducing hunger, and affecting mood as well as aiding in localized (spot) reduction. We have tested these claims in a double-blind randomized trial using injections of HCG or placebo. Weight loss was identical between the two groups, and there was no evidence for differential effects on hunger, mood or localized body measurements. Placebo injections, therefore, appear to be as effective as HCG in the treatment of obesity.
有人声称注射人绒毛膜促性腺激素(HCG)有助于减轻体重,通过减少饥饿感、影响情绪以及辅助局部(定点)减脂。我们在一项双盲随机试验中对这些说法进行了测试,该试验使用了HCG注射剂或安慰剂。两组的体重减轻情况相同,而且没有证据表明对饥饿感、情绪或局部身体测量有不同的影响。因此,安慰剂注射在治疗肥胖症方面似乎与HCG一样有效。
