>Doesn't Nardil generally lead to weight GAIN not loss?
Yes, definitely.
>Since phenelzine reduced body fat content without affecting cardiovascular function in mice, it may be of interest for the treatment of obesity‐associated complications at the expense of the precautions of use recommended for antidepressant therapy
The conclusion is highly ridiculous.
They could have written something like.... since phenelzine reduced body fat content in MICE, further research may be useful to better understand the mechanism behind this. In future, greater knowledge of the mechanisms behind the accumulation of body fat might aid the development of drugs to inhibit this process in humans.
