To test the hypothesis that carnitine plays a role in medium chain fatty acid metabolism, blood, urine, liver and bile specimens were collected from anesthesized neonatal piglets prior to ...

Purpose: The stability window of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) and long-chain-triglyceride (LCT) lipid-based total nutrient admixtures (TNAs) was studied. Methods: Sixteen different admixtures ...

or medium chain triglyceride formula (MCTF) n=16, Bwt=1385±52; Gest.age 30.7±0.5). Macronutrient, energy and individual fatty acid balances were determined at the same time intervals.

Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2006;63(21):2135-2143. a TNA = total nutrient admixture, PN1.8 = number of particles or globules per milliliter with a diameter of >1.8 μm, CV = coefficient of variation ...

It is very rich in saturated fats, mostly in the form of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of fat that is metabolized ...
