Martinez-Tellez B, et al. - Authors probed if the thermic effect of food (TEF) on the skin temperature with a standardized and individualized liquid meal test was different in young adult men than in young adult women. An aggregate of one hundred four young adults (36 men and 68 women, age: 18-25 years old) consumed a standardized and individualized liquid meal (energy intake: 50% of measured basal metabolic rate, 50% carbohydrates, 35% fat, 15% protein). By dual X-ray absorptiometry, the body composition was measured. The data presented in this work showed a standardized and individualized liquid meal test raises the skin temperature in young adults, being the thermic effect higher in women than in men.
