Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders & Body Weight Regulation Grant

Completed

Conditions studied: Trifunctional Protein Deficiency

In brief

Several hormones involved in body weight regulation increase the subject's ability to burn fat for energy. The purpose of this study is to investigate how burning fat for energy may affect those hormones and body weight in children. The study will also determine if eating a diet higher in protein alters the amount of fat you burn and how these hormones control body weight.
