Reduced Anxiety in Forensic Inpatients after a Long-Term Intervention with Atlantic Salmon
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Atlantic salmon consumption on underlying biological mechanisms associated with anxiety such as heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) as well as a measure of self-reported anxiety. Moreover, these biological and self-reported...
