Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Cold-induced BAT volume and activity: measured by individualized cooling<br /><br>followed by 18F-FDG PET-CT scan in healthy controls and in narcolepsy type 1<br /><br>patients before and after 3 weeks of SXB treatment.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Resting energy expenditure: measured by indirect calorimetry in healthy<br /><br>controls and in narcolepsy type 1 patients before, after 1 day and after 3<br /><br>weeks of SXB treatment.<br /><br>- Skin temperature: measured by wireless iButtons in healthy controls and in<br /><br>narcolepsy type 1 patients before, after 1 day and after 3 weeks of SXB<br /><br>treatment.<br /><br>- Thermoneutral and cold-induced lipoprotein dynamics in healthy controls and<br /><br>in narcolepsy type 1 patients before and after 3 weeks of SXB treatment.<br /><br>- Fat/lean mass loss: measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis measurement.<br /><br>- Thermoneutral BAT volume and fat fraction: measured by MRI scan in<br /><br>thermoneutral condition in healthy controls and in narcolepsy type 1 patients<br /><br>before and after 3 weeks of SXB treatment.</p><br>
