Effect of naltrexone on mood and cognitive functioning among overweight men.
The effects of naltrexone on both mood and cognition were examined in overweight male subjects. Subjects were randomly prescribed, in a double-blind fashion, either placebo or naltrexone for 8 weeks. The results of the study showed that a chronic administration of a high dose of naltrexone (300 mg/day) does not significantly change mood or cognitive functioning among overweight adult men.
