Introdução: As pimentas vermelhas são frutos membros do gênero Capsicum. Seus principais compostos bioativos são denominados capsaicinóides. Atualmente tem sido proposto que esses compostos possuem propriedades que podem trazer efeitos benéficos para a saúde. Objetivo: Analisar estudos de intervenção com objetivo de verificar os efeitos do consumo de pimenta vermelha no emagrecimento e no controle de peso. Metodologia: Foram realizadas diferentes buscas em uma base de dados (Pubmed) 86 artigos foram localizados, dos quais oito foram selecionados para esta revisão. Resultados: Dos oito artigos incluídos, seis demonstraram efeitos benéficos do consumo da pimenta vermelha no emagrecimento ou controle de peso. Foi observado que o consumo de pimenta vermelha aumenta o gasto energético pós-prandial. Foi observada a influência do consumo de pimenta vermelha na termogênese induzida pela dieta, oxidação de substratos, aumento da saciedade e redução do consumo energético. O mecanismo de ação ainda não é completamente esclarecido, embora seja proposto que a maioria destes efeitos seja resultado da estimulação do sistema nervoso simpático. Conclusão: Sugere-se que existem evidências de que a pimenta vermelha pode desempenhar um papel benéfico no emagrecimento e controle de peso.
Palavras-chave: pimenta vermelha, emagrecimento, termogênese, obesidade.
