FIGURE 1.
Mean (±SEM) percentage change in body weight over 16 wk during a weight-loss diet with olive oil (solid line, n = 15) or medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) oil (hatched line, n = 16). There was a significant effect of week (P < 0.0001) and trends for an effect of diet (P = 0.0877) and a diet-by-week interaction (P = 0.1117) by repeated-measures analysis of variance. Post hoc analyses showed a significant difference between diets at week 16 (unadjusted P = 0.011) and a trend toward greater weight loss with MCT than with olive oil at week 8 (unadjusted P = 0.063).
