Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 11/2022, Volume: 30Journal Article
Background: Cold exposure (CE) has been repeatedly shown to increase energy expenditure, leading some scientists to conclude that it could be used to aid in body weight regulation. However, the orexigenic effects of CE have not been documented in humans, especially those living with obesity. The goal of this study is to examine the acute impact of CE on appetite regulation, specifically focusing on gustation and olfaction outcomes. Methods: Nine individuals living with obesity (BMI 33.9±5.1 kg/m2, 34.8±9.6 years old) underwent two experimental sessions: 90 minutes of CE in a liquid conditioned suit infused with water at 10°C or 90 minutes of ambient control. The exposure was followed by a battery of smell (Sniffin' Sticks) and taste (Taste Strips) tests. Data collection is ongoing. Results: Outcomes for the ability to identify a smell (12.4±1.2 vs. 12.4±1.0), discriminate between smells (12.8±1.8 vs. 13.4±1.2), and threshold of determining a smell (10.5±1.4 vs. 10.9±1.8) were similar between the ambient control and CE, respectively. Further, the ability to identify various tastes (salty, sweet, bitter, and sour) was similar between control and CE conditions, respectively (12.3±2.2 vs. 11.8±2.4). Conclusions: Although there is a noted increase in energy expenditure, smell and taste abilities do not appear to change following a singular bout of CE.
