The Effect of Cold Exposure on Glucose Tolerance

Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of cold exposure on an individual's glucose tolerance. Previous research has already shown that 10 days acclimation to a mild cold environment (14-15°C) can enhance insulin sensitivity. However, the duration in the cold environment was 6 hours per day which may not be practical for everyone. Therefore, the present study will investigate the effect of a shorter, and more intense cold exposure on an individual's glucose tolerance. It is hypothesised that cold exposure before consuming a glucose drink will enhance glucose clearance.
