Official title

Development of a Novel Method to Study in Vivo Fatty Acid Metabolism Using Stable Isotope Labeled Fatty Acids in Humans.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Specific Aim 1: To compare the metabolic fate (transport, conversion and oxidation) of labeled 18:0 (13C18:0) and its metabolic product 18:1 (13C18:1) in the fed state after habituation to diets enriched in the corresponding fatty acid. Hypothesis: In the fed state, the metabolic fate of 13C18:0 compared to 13C18:1 will be characterized by similar transport, higher conversion, and similar oxidation rates..
