Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of AME will be assessed via frequent<br /><br>blood sampling, urine collection, and faecal sampling, in which AME and<br /><br>metabolite profiles will be quantified. Blood samples will be collected at<br /><br>t=0h, t=0.5h, t=1h, t=1.5h t=2h, t=2.5h, t=3h, t=4h, t=6h, t=8h, t=10h, t=12h,<br /><br>t=24h, t=48h following AME intake. Urine samples will be collected at t=0h, and<br /><br>in 6 different time intervals, i.e. t=0-4h, t=4-8h, t=8-12h, t=12-16h,<br /><br>t=16-24h, and t=24h-48h. Available faecal samples will be collected and<br /><br>combined into one sample until t=48h on a voluntary basis.</p><br>
