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.

A wide range of macronutrients and micronutrients were tested in a series of MCT-LCT-based TNAs and found to be stable. The use of MCTs and LCTs in lipid injectable emulsions confers greater ...
