Brown Fat Study in Young Women
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a special type of fat (brown fat) in young women and how it may affect metabolism. Participants will be placed into one of four groups to compare the effects of different substances on this fat.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study measures how “brown fat” works in the body using planned medical procedures. It looks at healthy adults to understand brown fat activity and what affects it.
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 explores how the body's natural substance NAD+ works in brown fat, a type of fat that burns calories. It may help researchers understand metabolism and find new ways to treat obesity.
This study uses a special camera (photoacoustic/ultrasound) to look at a type of fat called 'brown fat' that helps your body burn energy. You may be able to join as a healthy volunteer or if you have a condition like type 2 diabetes or PCOS.
This study looks at samples of body fat to understand what controls metabolism (how your body uses energy). You may be asked for a fat tissue sample during surgery or through a special biopsy scan, depending on your situation.
