Very Long-chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Trifunctional Protein Deficiency
Fatty Acid Oxidation Defects and Insulin Sensitivity
The purpose of this study is to learn more about what causes insulin resistance. It has been suggested that proper breakdown of fat into energy (oxidation) in the body is important to allow insulin to keep blood sugar in the…

Obesity, Short Stature
Free Fatty Acids, Body Weight, and Growth Hormones Secretion in Children
Background: Overweight and obese children and adults often have lower levels of growth hormone in the blood. Regulation of growth hormone may be tied to weight and free fatty acids in the blood.
