What this study is about

The study will examine the impact of adding two servings per day of skimmed or whole milk Greek yogurt on integrated muscle protein synthesis (iMPS), blood sugar control, and cognition in post-menopausal women with overweight and obesity.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
