Components of Total Energy Expenditure in Healthy Young Women Are Not Affected after 14 Days of Feeding with Medium‐Versus Long‐Chain Triglycerides

Abstract

Results suggest that between day 7 and day 14 feeding of MCT vs. LCT at these levels, TEE is not affected and that increases seen in energy expenditure following MCT feeding may be of short duration. Thus, compensatory mechanisms may exist which blunt the effect of MCT on energy components over the longer term.
