No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will evaluate the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) ratio in the medical foods formulated for Methylmalonic and Propionic Acidemias (MMA/PROP) patients. We will recruit 6 healthy children between 6-10y (3 boys and 3 girls). They will be given amino acid-based shakes and protein free cookies. Using a minimally invasive stable isotope based technique, we will be able to determine the optimal ratio of BCAA to be added in the medical foods for the MMA/PROP subjects.
