Summary
This study tested whether a dietary oil called triheptanoin can improve exercise ability in adults with McArdle disease, a rare genetic disorder that makes it hard for muscles to use stored sugar for energy. Twelve participants took triheptanoin or a placebo for two weeks each, then switched. Researchers measured heart rate and fatigue during cycling tests to see if the oil helped.
