Papamandjaris AA, White MD, Raeini-Sarjaz M
Published in International Journal of Obesity
Methodology
Randomised crossover feeding trial in 12 healthy women comparing medium chain versus long chain triglyceride diets with 13C-labelled fatty acid tracers
Key Findings
Greater cumulative and net long-chain saturated fatty acid oxidation was observed on the MCT diet than on the LCT diet by day 14
Conclusions
Fat type changes measured oxidation rates, with MCT increasing endogenous fat oxidation
Limitations
Small female-only sample; controlled feeding setting
Supplements Studied
greater combined cumulative fractional LCSFA oxidation (16.9 +/- 2.5%/5.5 h vs 9.1 +/- 1.2%/5.5 h, P < 0.007)
Outcomes Measured
greater combined cumulative fractional LCSFA oxidation (16.9 +/- 2.5%/5.5 h vs 9.1 +/- 1.2%/5.5 h, P < 0.007), net LCSFA oxidation (2956 +/- 413 mg/5.5 h vs 1669 +/- 224 mg/5.5 h, P < 0.01)
