Official Title: A Study to Assess the Sweat Response, Sweat Composition and Thermoregulatory Response to Exercise in Heat in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis on Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Modulato
Brief Summary:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common inherited condition in the Caucasian population resulting in poor function and/or production of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein.The CFTR protein plays a crucial role in the secretion and re-absorption of sodium chloride within the sweat gland.The sweat gland has played a key role in diagnosing and understanding CF with sweat chloride elevation being a key criterion to diagnosing CF.People with CF are thought to be at risk of exertional heat illness…
