Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total fat oxidation (rate of disappearance) during prolonged moderate intensity exercise. Measured as micro mol per kg per minute.

    Measured using stable isotope technique (\[U-13C\]-palmitate, \[1,1,2,3,3-2H5\]-glycerol and \[6.6-2H2\]-glucose ) and indirect calorimetry.

    Measured at at time (minutes) -120, -20, -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Zero is the indicatet start of 1 hour cycling test. Measured on day 2 of participation

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Maximal oxidative capacity (mL*kg-1*minutes-1)

    Day 1 of participation

  • Endurance measured as minutes:seconds

    Day 2 and 4 of participation

  • Heart rate (HR) during prolonged exercise, with and without blood sugar maintained by an infusion of a 10% glucose solution. Measured in beats per minute.

    During 1 hour cycling test 1 and 1 hour cycling test 2 on day 2 and 4 of participation.

  • Oxygen consumption rate (VO2) during prolonged exercise, with and without blood sugar maintained by an infusion of a 10% glucose solution. Measured in mL.

    During 1 hour cycling test 1 and 1 hour cycling test 2 on day 2 and 4 of participation.

  • Self-evaluated exertion (Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)) during prolonged exercise, with and without blood sugar maintained by an infusion of a 10% glucose solution. Measured using a Borg-scale (6-20).

    During 1 hour cycling test 1 and 1 hour cycling test 2 on day 2 and 4 of participation.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Sugar

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects exercise on the cycle-ergometer until exhaustion or for a maximum of 1 hour at an intensity that corresponds to 60-65% of VO2max.

Other: Sugar

Interventions

SugarOTHER

10 minutes before exercising, the subjects are given a bolus of glucose solution 0.2 g/kg in a cubital vein catheter and a constant infusion of 10% glucose solution is started (100ml/h). The infusion continues throughout the exercise period.

Also known as: 10 % glucose infusion

Eligibility Criteria

Age15 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Men and women with genetically and/or biochemically verified LCHAD Deficiency
  • Healthy controls needs to be healthy to be included, evaluated by the investigator.

You may not qualify if:

  • Competing conditions at risk of compromising the results of the study.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Cardiac or pulmonary disease contraindicating peak exercise testing or strenuous exercise.
  • Inability to understand the purpose of the trial or corporate for the conduction of the experiments.
  • Veins that are too difficult to puncture for blood sampling or insertion of intravenous catheters, evaluated by the investigator
  • Moderate to severe muscle weakness, that prevents the subject completing 10 minutes of cycle-ergometry exercise at 60-70 % of VO2peak, evaluated by the investigator.
  • Participation in other trials that may interfere with the results.
  • Intake of medications that may interfere with the results or may compromise exercise performance, as evaluated by the investigators.
  • Donation of blood within 30 days prior to conduction of the tests on test day 1.
