摘要: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition chylomicron triglycerides isolated from subjects fed liquid-formula diets containing 40% total energy as medium- (C8:0 and C10:0) or long-chain (C16-C18) (MCT, LCT) for 6 d. Medium-chain acids (MCFA) comprised 8% triglyceride after first MCT meal. After d continued feeding, MCFA content increased 13%. When were LCT (soybean oil) diet, C16:0, C18:1, C18:2 nearly 90% acids. mass transported in chylomicrons diet approximately 20% that found when consumed diet. We conclude although production during ingestion is low, are synthesized contain significant amounts MCFA.
