Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) intakes suppresses body and fat weight increase compared with lard intake. (A) Body weight gain for 5 weeks in Lard- or MCT diet-fed mice (n = 7–8). (B) Tissue weight in Lard or MCT diet-fed mice at 12 weeks of age (n = 7–8). (C) Blood glucose, plasma triglycerides (TGs), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), and total cholesterol (T-cho) levels in Lard or MCTs diet-fed mice at 12 weeks of age were measured after fasting for 5 h (n = 6–8). Dunnett's test; *P < 0.05, compared with Lard-diet. All data are presented as the means ± standard error of mean (SEM). Lard, Lard diet; TriC8, octanoate (C8:0) triglyceride diet; TriC10, decanoate (C10:0) triglyceride diet; TriC12, dodecanoate (C12:0) triglyceride diet. Epi, epididymal adipose tissues; peri, perirenal adipose tissues; sub, subcutaneous adipose tissues; WAT, white adipose tissue.
