The effects of a diet consisting of 10% medium-chain triglycerides (C8:0, C10:0) or 10% homogeneous triglycerides of 6- to 14-carbon chain saturated fatty acids on cholesterol turnover processes were studied in rats using the isotope equilibrium method. Cholesterol absorption was

Unsaturated fatty acids are known as neutrophil activators. In the present study we investigated whether saturated triglycerides and fatty acids may also contribute to the previously observed activation of neutrophils by nutritional lipid emulsions. Furthermore we tested the hypothesis that

We investigated the effect of chain length of dietary medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) on growth performance and fatty acid composition of first-feeding carp larvae. In a first trial, five semi-purified isolipidic (23-24 g/100 g of dry matter) diets were formulated
