Filter by:The main aim of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of carbohydrate-rich diet as a treatment for AIP (acute intermittent porphyria). Aim: Investigate the diet's impact on tissue and serum glucose, plasma insulin, cytokine levels, amino acids, and gut microbiota in AIP, and their correlation with PBG (Porphobilinogen). Aim: Assess the diet's effect on AIP symptoms and health status in AIP. Aim: Measure the effect of a high-carbohydrate diet on mitochondrial activity in AIP Aim: Map and detect potential mutations in mitochondrial genomic DNA in AIP Aim: Discover new markers in AIP through RNA sequencing and machine learning. Participants will follow two diet plans, a 4-week intervention with 60-65 E% carbohydrates and a 4 week intervention with 40-45 E% carbohydrates.
This study proposes to identify the predisposing/protective modifying genes that underlie the acute attacks in symptomatic patients with Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant inborn error of heme biosynthesis.
The objective of this protocol is to conduct a longitudinal multidisciplinary investigation of the human porphyrias including the natural history, morbidity, pregnancy outcomes, and mortality in people with these disorders.
