NCT02385565

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to compare Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) between normal fat diet (NFD) as a control vs high fat diet (HFD) as a treatment in Mitochondrial cytopathies disorders ( MID's ) patients. Secondary objectives is to compare diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) and body composition between NFD vs HFD. This study is a randomized cross-over study. Normal fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 45 % lipids, 45 % carbohydrates) is the imposed diet at baseline, high fat diet (ie 10 % proteins, 30 % lipids, 60 % carbohydrates is used according to the cross-over design trial. Main evaluation criteria is REE and second evaluation criteria is DIT both measured by indirect calorimetry ). 36 included MID subjects will be included in this study. Main evaluation criteria and second evaluation criteria will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month.
