Omega-3 effects on body fat in cold exposure
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether omega-3 (fish oil–type) changes how your body fat responds when you are exposed to cold. It may help researchers understand how to regulate “brown fat,” which can be involved in how your body uses energy during cold.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 40
- Your body weight is in the “healthy range” (BMI 18.5 to 24.9)
- You are moderately to highly active (as measured by activity questionnaires)

This study tests whether brief, repeated exposure to cold can increase your body's 'brown fat,' a type of fat that burns energy and may help with metabolism. Healthy volunteers will undergo controlled cooling sessions and imaging scans to measure changes in their brown fat activity.
This study tests whether a high-energy diet helps military personnel perform better in cold weather. Participants will follow special diets and do exercise tests in a cold environment.
This study looks at how cold water immersion affects your physical and mental health. It compares people who haven't done cold water exposure before and may help us understand its benefits.
This study tests whether controlled cold exposure can activate “brown fat” and affect liver fat buildup. It may help people with excess liver fat, measured on imaging, but it has several health and medication exclusions.
This study looks at how your body's ability to burn fat during exercise changes when you are exposed to cold, and whether men and women respond differently. You will do two exercise tests in a cold room, and researchers will measure your fat burning.
This study looks at how omega-3 supplements affect certain fats in the blood of adults with obesity. Researchers want to see if taking these supplements changes these fats in a helpful way.
