Summary
The objective of this study is to better define the role of the hormone angiotensin-(1-7) in
energy balance. We will test the overall hypothesis that angiotensin-(1-7) increases resting
energy expenditure and promotes markers of heat production (thermogenesis) in white adipose
tissue in human obesity.
