Risk of Metabolic Adaptation After Weight Loss
The Medical College of Wisconsin is conducting a study to understand how the hormones that control energy expenditure and food intake change during and after weight loss.
Renal Metabolism in Salt-Sensitive Human Blood Pressure
Salt sensitive hypertension is a significant health problem worldwide and a modifiable risk factor for renal, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. This study aims to determine how kidney function (by measuring renal oxygenation and blood flow) and the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy food (your metabolism) differs between individuals with and without salt sensitivity. A total of about 70 people between the ages of 25 and 65 with a blood pressure of 110/70 or higher are expected to participate in this at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Resting Metabolic Rate and Gut Microbiome in Pre-Menopausal Women
The purpose of this study is to better understand how microbes in our gut affect our resting metabolic rate (the amount energy expended at rest by our bodies) and body weight.
