These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
To what extent does this trial aim to yield a result?
"The purpose of this trial, assessed over a two-year period, is to gauge the rate of participant enrollment. Additionally, changes in PGC1α and Sirt1 levels will be monitored using western blotting and qRT-PCR analysis; scanning electron microscopy or immunofluorescence imaging will track alterations in mitochondrial structure; finally, an untargeted metabolomic analysis of intestinal epithelium cells shall measure cellular metabolism at baseline and 6-12 months post treatment."
