Mitochondrial Cytopathies Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect Of The System In The Enriched Fat Metabolism Of The Child Reached Mitochondrial Cytopathy
The aim of the present study is to compare Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) between normal
fat diet (NFD) as a control vs high fat diet (HFD) as a treatment in Mitochondrial
cytopathies disorders ( MID's ) patients. Secondary objectives is to compare diet induced
thermogenesis (DIT) and body composition between NFD vs HFD.
This study is a randomized cross-over study. Normal fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 45 % lipids,
45 % carbohydrates) is the imposed diet at baseline, high fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 30 %
lipids, 60 % carbohydrates is used according to the cross-over design trial. Main evaluation
criteria is REE and second evaluation criteria is DIT both measured by indirect calorimetry
). 36 included MID subjects will be included in this study. Main evaluation criteria and
second evaluation criteria will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month.
REE and DIT are measured by indirect calorimetry . The device used is a using an open-circuit ventilated hood system (QUARK RMR®, Cosmed, Pavona; Italy). The respiration quo- tient (RQ) and flow settings are calibrated by reference to alcohol combustion every six months. Before each test, the calorimeter is calibrated with a reference gas mixture (5% CO2, 95% O2 v/v). Expired carbon di- oxide (VCO2) and inspired oxygen (VO2) -flows are recorded, as well as the RQ. EE is calculated every minute from oxygen consumption (VO2 in ml/min) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2 in ml/min) using the Weir formula without protein correction. DIT is measured during 6 hours after a calibrated breakfast (normal fat diet or high fat diet according to the cross-over design) as 30% of theoric energy intake. ;
