简要总结

The main aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the physiological effects of theobromine when provided via a single serving compared to multiple servings adding up to the same amount of theobromine provided on a day.

This study also aims to study the pharmacokinetics of theobromine after administration once per day versus administration 4 times per day.

Hypothesis: the effects on heart rate are less pronounced when a high dose of theobromine is given in 4 smaller doses.
