Following severe burn injury in human patients the mitochondrial fat oxygenation capacity is decreased in muscle. This is associated with a corresponding progression in the severity of the resistance to the action of insulin on glucose disposal and protein synthesis and breakdown in muscle,
Recruitment: Patients with a long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder will be recruited through our clinic, past research participants, a patient support website, and recruitment letters mailed to physicians around the US. We will enroll 16 subjects at OHSU and 16 subjects at the University of
The study is designed as a prospective, blinded diet intervention study during which the participants consume either fructose- or glucose-sweetened beverages (25% of energy) with meals. Experimental procedures, including 24-hour serial blood sampling, 26-h stable isotoped infusions, post-heparin
The following specific hypotheses will be investigated:
1. Following severe burn injury in human patients the mitochondrial fat oxidation capacity is decreased in muscle. This is associated with a corresponding progression in the severity of the resistance to the action of insulin on glucose
