Summary

This study looks at how weight loss affects the energy the body uses to digest food (called dietary thermogenesis) in teens with obesity. Researchers will compare 30 obese adolescents before and after weight loss with normal-weight teens. The goal is to understand if losing weight helps improve this calorie-burning process, which may play a role in managing obesity.
