In the near future, antibiotic resistance will be the utmost impediment in the chemotherapy of H. pylori infection. In addition, new triple therapies occasionally cau[r]

Our original hypothesis was that this would be the case if flavanol-rich cocoa and its influ-ence on nitric oxide synthesis had implications for disease pathogenesis, as has been suggested [26].

The assumption that scale weight loss is synonymous with fat loss, however, is not al-ways true [26,27]. Scale[r]
