Medium-chain Triglyceride Supplementation Exacerbates Peritonitis-Induced Septic Shock in Rats

Abstract

Compared with 5% dextrose, MCT/LCT supplementation during septic shock in rats induced deleterious effects with increased inflammation and cell activation, associated to vascular hyporeactivity. During septic shock, LCT supplementation seemed to be neutral compared with 5% dextrose infusion.
