Interventions/Control_1

Capsules containing 40 mg of an extract of Grains of Paradise (West African spice obtained from Aframomum melegueta, a species in the ginger family) were given daily for 5 weeks, and whole-body energy expenditure, respiratory quotient and adiposity were measured by indirect calorimetry at a resting state and after 2-hr cold exposure.

Interventions/Control_2

Placebo capsules were given daily for 5 weeks, and whole-body energy expenditure, respiratory quotient and adiposity were measured by indirect calorimetry at a resting state and after 2-hr cold exposure.

Results

Nine healthy male volunteers participated in the present study. Before and after daily ingestion of either Grains of Paradise extract (GP, 40 mg/day) or placebo (GP 0 mg/d) for 5 wk, whole-body energy expenditure (EE) was measured at thermoneutral condition (27&#730;C) and after 2-h cold exposure at 19&#730;C. Body fat content was also monitored. Resting EE at thermoneutral condition did not change after either the GP and placebo treatments. Response of EE to acute cold exposure (CIT) increased and body fat content decreased significantly after the 5-wk GP treatment. The placebo treatment did not change CIT and body fatness. As CIT is predicted index of BAT activity, our results suggest that repeated ingestion of GP recruits BAT and thereby increases EE and decreases body fatness.
