Clinical trials: Thermogenesis
Obesity
Water Induced Thermogenesis in Obese Children
Drinking water is largely advocated for obesity prevention and management. Recent studies have suggested that water has a thermogenic effect, this has not been examined in children.

Resting Energy Expenditure, Thermogenesis
Mirabegron and Physiological Function in Cold Environments
Many Navy diving operations are performed in cold water. Despite technical advances to improve thermal protection for cold water diving, these applications are cumbersome and do not provide complete thermal protection as thermal…

Obesity
Effects of b3-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists on Brown Adipose Tissue
This study will test the hypothesis that human brown adipose tissue (BAT) can be activated using a β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist.

Obesity
Effects of Estrogen Deficiency on Energy Expenditure
Menopause is associated with weight gain, but the reasons why are not clear. In this study, the investigators will determine if reducing estrogen levels causes a decrease in the ability of the body to produce heat.

- NCT01846728
- Testing
- Estrogen suppression

Healthy Volunteers
Study of Human Non-Shivering Thermogenesis and Basal Metabolic Rate
Background: Changes in how a person's body burns energy or calories can affect their weight over time. The lowest level of energy the body needs to function is called basal metabolic rate.

Obesity, Weight Loss
Evaluation of Safety, Efficacy and Thermogenesis-induction of RZL-012 in Overweight and Obese Volunteers
Obesity is a direct result of food-intake in excess of body energy expenditure. Thus, induction of increased energy expenditure via the activation of thermogenesis at targeted anatomical sites can counterbalance obesity.

Diet-induced Thermogenesis
Timing of Caloric Intake, Diet-induced Thermogenesis and Hormonal Pattern
The investigators aim at analyzing whether eating a standard meal in the evening (at 8:00 pm) determines in the same individuals a lower diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and a different hormonal response than the consumption of…
