First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looks at how the menstrual cycle changes the way healthy women process fat after a high-fat meal. Researchers will compare blood fat levels during the early follicular phase (just after a period) and the mid-luteal phase (after ovulation). Twelve healthy women will eat a high-fat meal and have blood drawn over six hours to measure fats, insulin, and sugar.
