Brief summary

Obesity is a risk factor for chronic diseases, and improving energy expenditure is a way to prevent and treat obesity. The purpose of this project is to explore the relationship between the effect of coffee on energy expenditure and caffeine metabolism, which has important significance in the rational application of caffeine.

Detailed description

The investigators will study the relationship between the effect of coffee on energy expenditure and caffeine metabolism. The investigators will recruit healthy participants. Participants will be forbidden to consume stimulant drinks such as coffee for 24 hours before the experiment. When the participants arrive at the lab on the day of the experiment, they will sign an informed consent form, a health history questionnaire and a daily coffee consumption questionnaire. The changes of drinking water/coffee on total energy expenditure (TEE), body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, memory,cognition, sleep time and so on will be observed. The concentration of caffeine and its metabolites in the blood and urine will be measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Interventions

Participants will drink the same volume of water or coffee, caffeine content is 2mg/kg by body weight.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total energy expenditure2 daysTotal energy expenditure will be measured by Chamber (OMNICAL).
The concentration of caffeine and its metabolites in urine2 daysThe contents of caffeine and it's metabolites will be measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS ).
The concentration of caffeine and its metabolites in serum1 dayThe concentration of caffeine and its metabolites in serum will be measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS ).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
HeightThe morning of the first day of the experiment, 5 minsHeight will be measured by seca 217 stable stadiometer. Subjects wearing no shoes.
Body weightThe morning of the first day of the experiment, 5 minsFasting body weight will be measured by Bioimpedance Analysis (TANITA, MC-980).
Fat massThe morning of the first day of the experiment, 10 minsFat mass will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Shanghai united imaging, uMR 790 ).
Fat free masson the morning of the experiment, 5 minsFat free mass will be Bioimpedance Analysis (Tanita, MC-980).
Heart rate2 daysHeart rate will be measured by Polar heart rate belts.
Body temperature2 daysBody temperature of participants will be measured by body temperature patch (RIT-P02-MED).
Memory and cognitive testsThe morning of the experiment, 60 minsMemory and cognitive tests will be tested by Cognitive Experiment Standard Toolbox (CEST).
Physical activity7 daysThe physical activity of volunteers will be recorded by accelerometer (GT3XP-BTLE).
Sleep duration2 daysThe sleep duration of volunteers will be recorded by polar watch.
Waist circumferencesThe morning of the first day of the experiment,10 mins.Waist circumferences will be measured using a whole body laser scanner (TG2000-F).
Hunger rating2 daysHunger score will be measured on (Visual Analogue Scale) VAS by a pen and a paper. According to the scores of each participant, the highest score was 100 % hunger rate, and hunger rate (%) at other time points will be obtained from hunger score × 100 % / the highest score.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)2 daysECG of participants will be measured by Amu ECG belt, the changes in P wave, PR interval, PR segment, QRS wave group, J point, ST segment, T wave, QT interval, and U wave will be observe.
Blood pressure2 daysSystolic and diastolic blood pressure of participants will be measured by Omron digital sphygmomanometer.
