123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine single-photon emission computed tomography computed tomography scan, differs between lean and obese individuals, as an explanation for the diminished metabolic brown adipose tissue activity in obese subjects.\n\nThe investigators hypothesis is that sympathetic nervous system activity in the obese is diminished as compared to their leaner counterparts as an explanation for the diminished metabolic brown adipose tissue activity in the obese.', 'detailedDescription': 'The sympathetic nervous system is the primary activator of Brown Adipose Tissue.\n\nObese humans are known to have less metabolically active brown adipose tissue as compared to their leaner counterparts.\n\nThe reason for this diminished metabolic brown adipose tissue activity is unknown.\n\nHowever, a lower sympathetic nervous system activation to brown adipose tissue in the obese might explain a diminished metabolic brown adipose tissue.\n\nTherefore, in this study, both the sympathetic nervous system activation to brown adipose tissue and the metabolic activity will be measured in lean and obese subjects.\n\nsympathetic nervous system activity will be measured using 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine single-photon emission computed tomography scans, metabolic activity will be measured using 18F- fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography CT scans.'},
