Endogenous triacylglycerols represent an important source of fuel for endurance exercise.
Triacylglycerol oxidation increases progressively during exercise; the specific rate is …

When people walk at low intensity after fasting, the energy needed is provided mostly by
oxidation of plasma fatty acids. As exercise intensity increases (eg, to moderate running) …

In the 1950s, the production of processed fats and oils from coconut oil was popular in the
United States. It became necessary to find uses for the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) …

Compared with the limited capacity of the human body to store carbohydrate (CHO),
endogenous fat depots are large and represent a vast source of fuel for exercise. However …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT)
ingestion during exercise on subsequent time-trial cycling performance. Seven well-trained …

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differences in adaptation of arm and leg
muscles to sprint training, over a period of 11 days 16 untrained men performed six sessions …

This study examined the effectiveness of ingesting a carbohydrate or carbohydrate+ medium-
chain triglycerides (MCT) on metabolism and cycling performance. Eight endurance-trained …

On three occasions separated by 10 days, six endurance-trained cyclists rode for 2 h at 60%
of peak O2 uptake and then performed a simulated 40-km time trial (T-trial). During the rides …

The present study examined the metabolic response to medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)
ingestion with or without carbohydrates (CHOs). Eight well-trained athletes cycled 4 x 180 …

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are triglycerides with a fatty acid chain length varying
between 6 and 10 carbon atoms. MCT differ from long-chain triglycerides as they are …
