Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of an Amino Acid-Based hGH Secretagogue on Triiodythyronine (NCT NCT02987868)

NCT ID: NCT02987868

Last Updated: 2018-02-08

Results Overview

Measure Triiodthyronine at times 0-120 minutes on two occasions about one week apart. On one occasion, the proprietary amino acid derivative blend will be given orally at time 0 in capsule form, and on the other occasion the capsules will contain no amino acids.
