Cromolyn sodium does not operate through the cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) system and does not affect alpha or beta receptors.
These chemicals are picked up by beta receptors (receptors that aid in activation of fat burning) which then cause a thermo effect in the body by raising your metabolism causing you to burn more fat.
From a biochemistry standpoint, beta receptors exist in the heart and blood vessels as well as in other tissues throughout the body.
