Materials and Methods: Ten lean Dutch South Asian (aged 18-30 years; body mass index [BMI] 18-25 kg/m2 ) and 10 age- and BMI-matched Europid men participated in a randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study consisting of three interventions: short-term (~ 2 hours) cold exposure, mirabegron (200 mg one dose p.o.) and placebo. Before and after each intervention, we performed lipidomic analysis in serum, assessed resting energy expenditure (REE) and skin temperature, and measured BAT fat fraction by magnetic resonance imaging. Results: In both ethnicities, cold exposure increased the levels of several serum lipid species, whereas mirabegron only increased free fatty acids. Cold exposure increased lipid oxidation in both ethnicities, while mirabegron increased lipid oxidation in Europids only. Cold exposure and mirabegron enhanced supraclavicular skin temperature in both ethnicities. Cold exposure decreased BAT fat fraction in both ethnicities. After the combination of data from both ethnicities, mirabegron decreased BAT fat fraction compared with placebo. Conclusions: In South Asians and Europids, cold exposure and mirabegron induced beneficial metabolic effects. When combining both ethnicities, cold exposure and mirabegron increased REE and lipid oxidation, coinciding with a higher supraclavicular skin temperature and lower BAT fat fraction.}, organization = {Diabetes Research Foundation Fellowship 2015.81.1808}, organization = {Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative: 'the Dutch Heart Foundation, Dutch Federation of University Medical Centers, the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences' CVON2014-02 ENERGISE CVON2017-20 GENIUS-II}, organization = {European Union (EU) 602485}, organization = {European Research Council (NOMA-MRI) PCNR is an Established Investigator of the Netherlands Heart Foundation 2009T038}, publisher = {WILEY}, keywords = {Brown adipose tissue}, keywords = {Energy expenditure}, keywords = {Lipidic metabolism}, keywords = {Metabolic disease}, keywords = {Mirabegron}, keywords = {South Asian}, title = {The effect of mirabegron on energy expenditure and brown adipose tissue in healthy lean South Asian and Europid men}, doi = {10.1111/dom.14120}, author = {Nahon, Kimberly J. and Ruiz Ruiz, Jonatan and Martínez Téllez, Borja Manuel}, }
