First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether taking 200mg of caffeine (about two cups of coffee) changes how active your brown fat is when you're mildly cold. Brown fat is a type of body fat that burns energy to generate heat. Researchers will scan 12 healthy adults to measure brown fat activity after caffeine or a placebo. The goal is to better understand how caffeine might influence metabolism.
