This study was to clarify the effects of capsaicin tablet, which was commercially available, on energy metabolism. The single blind crossover study was performed in 6 healthy men who orally received capsaicin (0.24mg) or placebo. Heart rate, skin temperature and respiratory exchange ratio were not changed on the time course after tablet receiving. Heart rate and skin temperature did not differ between capsaicin and placebo group after tablet receiving. Respiratory exchange ratio in capsaicin group was higher than that of placebo group after tablet receiving. Serum glucose and serum free fatty acid were not changed on the time course after tablet receiving. The value of serum triacylglycerol after tablet receiving was lower than initial value in two groups. Energy substrates did not differ between capsaicin and placebo group after tablet receiving. These results indicated that capsaicin tablet effect energy substrate utilization.
