Study on taurine in older women with obesity and exercise
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at taurine levels in the blood of older women with obesity and how different types of obesity and a combined exercise program might affect those levels. It may help understand if taurine plays a role in health for people with obesity.
