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.
However, the term temperature regulation, or thermoregulation , is currently used to describe the ability of insects and other animals to maintain a stable temperature (either above or below ambient temperature), at least in a portion of their bodies by physiological or behavioral means.
