Postprandial Fatty Acid Metabolism with Coconut Oil in Young Females: A Randomized, Single-blind, Cross-over Trial

CONCLUSIONS: The characteristics of lauric acid contained in coconut oil, including the kinetics of β-oxidation and effects on blood TG, were very similar to those of MCFA. Moreover, regarding the iAUC and peak increment, VLDL-C and IDL-C were the lowest with the CO-meal. These results suggest that the intake of CO after fasting does not increase the TG, VLDL-C, and IDL-C, and may help prevent dyslipidemia. This trial was registered at UMIN as UMIN000019959.PMID:36948274 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.03.015
