Thermogenenic Responses to Fasting and Overfeeding in Women
NCT06610162
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
This study plans to learn more about why menopause increases the risk of weight gain. During and after menopause, women are prone to increased weight gain. The weight gained is primarily body fat, particularly visceral or abdominal body fat. The excess gain in abdominal fat during menopause increases the risk of chronic metabolic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. The increase in weight and body fat with menopause may be due to changes in metabolism related to the loss of estrogen.
