BRown Fat Activity Measurement With Infrared imaginG tHermography andThermogenesis - the BRIGHT Study

NCT02790255 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The whole body calorimeter is sensitive enough to reliably measure cold-induced thermogenesis as a surrogate marker of brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation.

The infrared (IR) energy flux from activated BAT can be accurately imaged and quantified using an IR imaging device, and that this IR energy output may be correlated to the increased energy expenditure quantified by the whole body calorimeter.
