Body Mass Index as a determinant of systemic exposures to gallotannin metabolites during six ‐week consumption of mango (Mangifera Indica L.) and modulation of intestinal microbiota in lean and obese individuals

This pharmacokinetic discrepancy may result in BMI‐associated reduced gallotannin‐derived health benefits.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
