Weight management products are used to explain the steps that need to be taken to obtain approval for health claims and the way to gather scientific...

Factor VIIa response to a fat-rich meal does not depend on fatty acid composition: A randomized controlled trial

Therefore, we studied the FVIIa response to fat-rich meals with different fatty acid composition in a randomized controlled crossover trial and investigated whether this response is mediated by an...
