First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

We have recently reported that the dietary supplement Meltdown® (Vital Pharmaceuticals) increases plasma norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EPI), glycerol, and free fatty acids (FFA), as well as metabolic rate in healthy men [1]. However, in that investigation measurements ceased at 90 minutes post ingestion, with values for bloodborne variables peaking at this time. It was the purpose of the present investigation to extend the time course of post ingestion measurement to 6 hours.
