Summary
This study looked at whether a high-fat diet changes how children with mitochondrial disease burn energy. 36 children aged 5 to 21 were randomly assigned to eat either a normal or high-fat diet for a month, then switched. Researchers measured their resting energy use and body composition over 3 months to see if the diet helps manage the condition.
