Thermogenic Effect and Metabolic Responses of Durian

Start date: July 19, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of durian on thermic effect of food (TEF), blood pressure, heart rate and postprandial glucose and lipid levels in young healthy men and women, compared to the ingestion of isocaloric banana.

MIrabegron and Physiological Function in Cold Environments

Start date: July 19, 2023
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Many Navy diving operations are performed in cold water. Despite technical advances to improve thermal protection for cold water diving, these applications are cumbersome and do not provide complete thermal protection as thermal discomfort is subjectively reported by many Navy divers. Brown adipose tissue is highly thermogenic in humans. Therefore, activation of brown adipose tissue might improve cold water tolerance and lower thermal discomfort during cold water diving operations. Mirabegron is a beta-3-adrenergic receptor agonist that is used to treat overactive bladder. Beta-3-adrenergic receptors are located on the urinary bladder, gallbladder and brown adipose tissue. Recent evidence has demonstrated that acute mirabegron administration increases thermogenesis for ~3 hours in humans. However, it is currently not known which dose of mirabegron can increase thermogenesis for longer durations. It is also not known if mirabegron administration can improve cold water tolerance and thermal discomfort during cold water immersion. Finally, it is not known if mirabegron can increase thermogenesis during sympathetic stimulation. This project will fill these knowledge gaps by determining if acute mirabegron administration will delay the fall in core temperature and the onset of shivering during a progressive cold-water immersion challenge. This study is part of a collection of studies that will show if mirabegron is a potential ergogenic aid that can be used to improve cold water tolerance in Navy divers which will ultimately improve the likelihood of successful missions.

Beta 2 Adrenergic Stimulation vs Cold Exposure to Activate Human Brown Adipose Tissue

ASCENT
Start date: April 27, 2022
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to asses brown adipose tissue activity in humans after intravenous administration of the selective beta-2-adrenergic agonist fenoterol as compared to the natural activator of brown adipose tissue, a mild cold stimulus.

Mirabegron and Physiological Function in Cold Environments

Finally, it is not known if mirabegron can increase thermogenesis during sympathetic stimulation. This project will fill these knowledge gaps by determining which dose of mirabegron administration will increase thermogenesis during 6 hours of a mild cold stress challenge. This study is part of a collection of studies that will show if mirabegron is a potential ergogenic aid that can be used to improve cold water tolerance in Navy divers which will ultimately improve the likelihood of successful missions.

Stimulation of Diet-Induced Thermogenesis by Cold-Exposure

BAT&DIT
Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Human fat tissue is essentially white fat, the main function of which is to store excess energy intake, and to release it when necessary. Brown fat is far less abundant and is present in the body to burn fat (and thus energy) to generate heat to maintain body temperature around 96 degrees. This phenomenon is called thermogenesis. When humans are exposed to cold on a chronic basis, brown fat expands and becomes more active, and consequently burns more energy. The amount of brown fat is higher during winter, and daily short (20 minutes) exposures to cold might be sufficient to induce its activity. We hypothesized that daily short term (20 minutes) exposure to a cold environment (4 °C) for four weeks increases adaptive BAT-mediated thermogenesis. CIT and DIT will be increased proportionally (the increase in CIT and DIT will be correlated).
