Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 136
observational

The lipid emulsion, based on a mixture of MCTs and soybean, olive, and fish oils, was safe and well tolerated by preterm infants while beneficially modulating the fatty acid profile.

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 109
observational

MCT had positive effects on cognitive ability in mild to moderate AD patients with APOE4-/- and these effects might be related to the metabolism of LysoPC, oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic Acid, in addition to the ketogenic effect.

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 94
review

The moderate ketosis induced by regular MCT ingestion may have neuroprotective potential, and laurate-rich MCTs are more feasible for use in moderate-temperature frying and tend to produce a lower but more sustained pattern of blood ketone elevation owing to t

review

The results of applied research into the use of MCTs by healthy subjects are introduced and it is shown that a relatively large ingestion of M CTs can be partially converted into ketone bodies, which can be used as a component of “ketone diets” in the dietary

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 67
observational

In healthy adults, C8 alone had the highest net ketogenic effect over 8 h, but induced only half the increase in the acetoacetate-to-β-HB ratio compared with CO, suggesting optimizing the type of MCT may help in developing ketogenic supplements designed to cou

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 46
observational

The results suggest that the addition of MCT to PFO formulations may decrease the host response to inflammatory challenge, which may pose potential for optimized PN formulations.
