Comments and insights on the name Merit: | Edit. Merit is more commonly seen as a male name, but it fits the pattern of virtue names that are traditionally female (e.g. Hope, Faith, Charity). My daughter (b. 2009) has this as a middle name. Merit is my first name.
Thermogenics are a popular class of dietary supplements commonly used in weight loss programs. By definition, a thermogenic increases metabolic rate by slightly raising body temperature.
The internal thermoregulation process is one aspect of homeostasis: a state of dynamic stability in an organism's internal conditions, maintained far from equilibrium with its environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called physiological or physiological ecology). thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.
