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.

Table 2 provides the results for samples at each time interval and shows an inconsistent, but general, increase in the number of globules with a diameter of >1.8 μ m over time. As two sample ...
