Multiple Sclerosis: The Role of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Insulin Resistance
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Oral glucose tolerance test, Testing of autonomous nervous system function, and 1 other intervention for Multiple Sclerosis and Mitochondrial Alteration. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and is one of the most common neurological diseases, often leading to disability of the patients. The MS pathogenesis includes vascular and inflammatory components, however recently also the role of mitochondrial dysfunction being a hot topic in neurodegeneration.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Oral glucose tolerance test to measure glucose and insulin concentrations after oral glucose load
Autonomous nervous system function will be assessed using a battery of tests (orthostasis, Valsalva manoeuvre, heart rate variability recording, blood hormone levels, ect.)
Stroop test will be used to test cognitive function
