AB  - The increased metabolic heat production in humans exposed to cold stress results 
      from an increased oxidation of both carbohydrate and fat to provide energy to 
      sustain temperature homeostasis. Research suggests that dietary manipulations may 
      enhance metabolic heat production, thereby delaying hypothermia. Therefore, the 
      present investigation examined the thermogenic effect of a sequential timed 
      feeding regime of either a carbohydrate (CHO) or a placebo beverage (PL) before 
      and again midway through 120 min of exposure to 8, 12 and 27 degrees C in 
      well-nourished men. The following were examined: tissue insulation (I), rectal 
      temperature (Tre), mean skin temperature (Tsk), metabolism (M), time-weighted 
      heat production and respiratory exchange ratio (R). Tre, delta Tre, Tsk, M, delta 
      M, I and time-weighted heat production revealed no significant differences 
      between treatment (PL vs CHO) at any temperature (8, 12 and 27 degrees C). 
      However, Tre decreased (P < 0.05) as time increased at 8, 12 and 27 degrees C 
      while M increased (P < 0.05) and I decreased (P < 0.05) at 8 and 12 degrees C. At 
      8 and 27 degrees C, R differed (P < 0.05) between the PL and CHO treatments. In 
      addition, at 8 and 12 degrees C, R increased (P < 0.05) across time reflecting 
      the feeding. From these data it appears that while substrate utilization differed 
      between dietary treatment (8 and 27 degrees C) and across time, this feeding 
      regime did not differentially affect M, Tre, Tsk and I during 120 min of exposure 
      to 8, 12 and 27 degrees C.
