Summary
This study planned to test whether an 8-week course of a flavored drink containing essential amino acids plus arginine could reduce liver fat and improve metabolism in obese children aged 7-10. The researchers intended to measure changes in liver fat, blood fats, insulin sensitivity, and body composition. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
