Cold Exposure, Appetite Control and Weight Loss in Individuals Living With Obesity
FY 2018-19
Summary
Recent research results suggest that cold exposure boosts metabolism and could be potentially used as a treatment for obesity. However, research available to date was done primarily in normal weight individuals in whom body weight is stable. In addition, the effects of cold on hunger and appetite have been largely ignored in humans. In this study, we will study the effects of cold exposure in humans before and after weight loss. We hypothesize that cold exposure will increase appetite in individuals living with obesity.
