Period power: new study reveals how your cycle changes fat digestion
NCT ID NCT07459465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the phase of a woman's menstrual cycle changes how her body handles fat after eating a high-fat meal. Researchers will measure blood fats and other markers in 12 healthy women during both the follicular and luteal phases. The goal is to understand normal variations in fat metabolism, not to treat any disease.
