Variations in resting metabolic rate over 12 weeks
This study checks how your resting metabolic rate (the calories your body burns at rest) changes over 12 weeks. It's a low-risk, observational trial that may help you understand your metabolism and how it varies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Be in good general health (no untreated metabolic or hormonal conditions)
- Your weight should have been stable (within about 4.5 pounds) for the past 3 months
- Be willing to come to the lab for morning check-ins three times a week for 12 weeks
- Not be pregnant, nursing, or have a recent acute illness

This study looks at how your body burns energy at rest (resting metabolic rate) and whether it is similar between parents and their adult children. If you are part of a parent-child pair, you may be able to help researchers learn more about family patterns in metabolism.
This study looks at how your body uses energy (calories) at rest during the early weeks of starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It will help researchers understand if HRT changes your resting metabolism, which might be helpful for weight management after menopause.
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
This study looks at whether drinking hydrogen-rich water (water with extra hydrogen gas) affects how many calories your body burns at rest. It may help you learn more about your metabolism, but it is not a treatment for any condition.
This study looks at how your body responds to a mixed meal (a test drink or meal) when the calories are either fixed or adjusted to your energy needs. It may help researchers understand how to measure metabolism more accurately.
This study looks at how a period of fasting changes the amount of energy your body burns at rest. It may help explain why fasting can affect weight and health.
