Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether high-fat meals rich in palmitic acid in the sn-2 position decrease lipaemia in men aged 40-70 y with higher than optimal fasting triacylglycerol concentrations.
