Metabolic benefits of MCT intake are partially mediated by GPR84 activation. (A) MCFA concentration in the plasma of mice fed with TriC10‐supplemented HFD (n = 8). (B) Body weight gain for 12 weeks in Lard‐ or MCT diet‐fed mice (n = 8). (C) Food intake (n = 4–5). (D) Blood glucose levels in Lard or MCT diet‐fed mice at 16 weeks of age were measured after fasting for 5 h (n = 8). (E) Non‐esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), and (F) total cholesterol (T‐cho) levels in Lard or MCTs diet‐fed mice. (G) Plasma insulin and (H) plasma GLP‐1 levels (n = 8). **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05 (Mann–Whitney U test (A, F–H) Student's t test (B–E). All data are presented as the means ± SEM.
