Students of the SRH Berlin programme Visual and Interactive Media designed this magazine for children with rare fatty acid oxidation disorders as a kick-off project of a cooperation with the Charité Berlin and the Fett SOS e.V. association.
Playful Learning: Info magazine for Children With Rare Metabolic Diseases
Fatty acid oxidation disorders occur in only a few children. Those who are affected must follow a special diet.
So-called MCT fats, which are highly soluble due to their shorter fatty acid chain length and can therefore be metabolized without bile acids, play a special role here. MCT fats bypass the lymphatic system and the bloodstream carries them directly to the liver.
Hence the title: MCT forms a MegaCoolTeam!
Students at the Berlin School of Popular Arts designed the educational magazine for elementary school children in collaboration with the Charité University Hospital in Berlin and the Fett SOS e.V. association.
Playful and interactive, the magazine helps turn children into experts on their metabolic peculiarities.
