Embodiment 1
[0240] The following studies were performed in order to evaluate the effect of oral administration of betahistine on food intake:
[0241] Recruit 10 obese but healthy people. Their characteristics at the time of recruitment are shown in Table 1. Exclusion criteria in this study were age below 18 years, active disease, use of medications, known hypersensitivity or contraindications to betahistine.
[0242] Each subject was randomized to receive betahistine 16 mg or placebo at 10:00 and 16:00. Intraday body weight, caloric intake (24-hour recall) and appetite (VAS, visual analogue scale) were obtained on days 0, 14 and 28 of the study. Subjects are assigned to eat and drink according to their appetite without restriction.
[0243] Statistical significance was assessed using a t-test. BMI means body mass index.

Embodiment 2
[0261] On another day, healthy overweight women were treated with 16 mg betahistine twice daily for 1 month without any dietary changes. As observed in the blood tests, certain metabolite levels were determined in this woman before and after betahistine treatment and are listed in Table 2 below.
[0262] day 0
[0263] As observed in Table 2, the results indicate that the total cholesterol level of the individual decreased with a corresponding decrease in LDL-cholesterol level and an increase in HDL-cholesterol level during the studied 30-day time period. Triglyceride levels decreased, while fructosamine levels increased very slightly. It was therefore concluded that individuals restricted their fat intake (as evidenced by lowering of LDL-cholesterol) without reducing their carbohydrate intake (as evidenced by a slight increase in fructosesamine levels), indicating that betahistine is effective in reducing the Fat intake has specific effects.
