Relation of ketosis to metabolic changes induced by acute medium-chain triglyceride feeding in rats.

J. Nutr. 1976 Jan;106(1):58-67.
PubMed Citation Journal Link

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) induce ketosis in several mammalian species including man. To clarify the regulation of this metabolic alteration, we fed rats either MCT or long-chain trigl...MCT stems from rapid oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids. Hyperinsulinemia, hypoglycemia and depressed lipogenesis resulting from MCT feeding appear to potentiate but not initiate ketosis.
