Experimental oil shows promise for rare brain energy disorder
NCT ID NCT02014883
Summary
This study tested whether triheptanoin oil could help people with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a rare genetic disorder where the brain struggles to get enough energy. Twenty patients over age 3 received the oil to see if it could reduce seizures and movement problems while monitoring safety. Researchers also checked if the treatment improved brain energy levels and patients' daily function and quality of life.
