BACKGROUND Previous studies showed divergent results concerning the influence of medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) on lipoprotein metabolism. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the effects of MCT and corn oil on plasma lipids in primary hypertriglyceridemic patients. DESIGN Ten subjects ate different proportions of corn oil and MCT for 12 wk. The subjects first ate a low-fat diet for 2 wk and during the next 4 wk, corn oil was added as the sole source of fat. Thereafter… CONTINUE READING
