Abstract :
Introduction: Capsaicin, the active component of chili peppers, has been suggested to promote lipolysis and fat oxidation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of capsaicin supplementation on markers of lipolysis, specifically free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol levels, following a bout of aerobic activity in young non-athlete women. Methods: Fifteen healthy, non-athlete women aged 20 to 30 years, with a body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 25 kg/m², were recruited through purposive sampling. In the first phase, participants performed an aerobic exercise session aimed at fat burning at 85% of their maximum heart rate until exhaustion without capsaicin supplementation. Blood samples were taken immediately before and after the exercise session to measure FFA and glycerol. Then, participants consumed 400 mg of capsaicin (one capsule daily) for seven consecutive days. After the supplementation period, the same aerobic exercise protocol was repeated, with blood samples collected before and after the session. Results: Aerobic activity significantly increased glycerol levels both without (P=0.001) and with (P=0.001) capsaicin supplementation. However, there was no significant difference in the extent of glycerol increase between the two conditions (P=0.66). Similarly, FFA levels significantly increased after exercise in both conditions (P=0.001 for both), but no significant difference was found between the changes observed with and without capsaicin intake (P=0.16). Conclusion: A single bout of high-intensity aerobic activity effectively enhances lipolysis in young, non-athletic women. However, capsaicin supplementation at a dose of 400 mg for one week does not appear to provide an additional lipolytic benefit under these conditions. The absence of significant effects may be attributed to factors such as the sufficiency of exercise stimulus alone, the timing of supplementation, or the dosage and duration of capsaicin intake. .
