However, it is a dangerous option and has caused several people to die. DNP works in a fashion similar to that of brown fat. Based on this information, how would DNP cause weight loss and death? DNP must increase metabolism of food by producing heat instead of ATP. DNP must prevent food from being consumed aerobically, so cells instead perform fermentation, and lactate buildup is deadly. DNP must block cells from using fats and proteins to make ATP. DNP must increase the rate of substrate-level phosphorylation, causing NADH to be produced more quickly than it can be used by the electron transport chain.

Answer:

DNP must increase metabolism of food by producing heat instead of ATP.

Explanation:

The drug that promises to lose weight based on Dinitrophenol (DNP) is harmful to health because it contains toxic substances that are not approved by the FDA for human consumption and can cause serious changes that can even lead to death. The changes caused by the drug are to increase the metabolism of food producing heat instead of ATP, so the body runs out of energy and various metabolic processes, essential for human life, are interrupted (including cellular respiration).

The side effects of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) are high fever, frequent vomiting and excessive tiredness that can lead to death. It is a yellow chemical powder that can be found in tablet form and sold illegally for human consumption as thermogenic and anabolic.
