Obesity is known to be associated with increased heat production. To maintain normothermia, heat retention in areas of the body with greater adiposity is counteracted by an augmented heat release from the extremities, as the fingernail-beds of hands. A possible cause of the altered thermoregulation in obesity is a dysfunction of the neuro-endocrine system. Repetitive deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) was proved to be an effective tool in inducing long lasting chang...
