Can your morning coffee fire up your Fat-Burning furnace?
NCT ID NCT06978777
Summary
This Swiss study is exploring whether caffeine can boost the activity of 'brown fat,' a special type of fat that burns calories to generate heat. Researchers will give healthy volunteers either caffeine or a placebo, then expose them to mild cold to activate this brown fat. They will use medical scans to measure how much energy the brown fat uses, aiming to learn if caffeine could one day help treat metabolic diseases.
