Applications of Medium-Chain Triglycerides in Foods. [PDF]
Front Nutr, 2022 In the 1950s, the production of processed fats and oils from coconut oil was popular in the United States. It became necessary to find uses for the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that were byproducts of the process, and a production method for medium ...

Dietary medium chain triglycerides impairs orexigenic action of ghrelin in mice. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)IntroductionGhrelin, a stomach-derived hormone, increases food intake and body weight. Efforts have been made therefore to modulate ghrelin signaling for the treatment of obesity or emaciation.

Medium Chain Triglycerides Modulate the Ketogenic Effect of a Metabolic Switch. [PDF]
Front Nutr, 2020 Ketones provide an alternative brain fuel and may be neuroprotective in older people. Little is known of how to optimize the ketogenic effect of C8:0–C10:0 medium chain triglyceride supplement (kMCT). Metabolic switching (MS) from glucose to ketones as a

Medium-chain triglycerides inhibit long-chain triglyceride-induced GIP secretion through GPR120-dependent inhibition of CCK. [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: Long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) intake strongly stimulates GIP secretion from enteroendocrine K cells and induces obesity and insulin resistance partly due to GIP hypersecretion.
