Study Summary
The short chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism has not been studied in subjects suffering from COPD. The purpose of this study is to compare the SCFA metabolism in COPD patients to healthy matched controls. This protocol is an extension of recent studies about protein digestion and absorption abnormalities in COPD patients. The investigators hypothesize that SCFA production might be lower in COPD patients than in healthy subjects.
Primary Outcome
change in whole body scfa metabolism
Interventions
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT short chain fatty acid tracers
