Dietary Medium-Chain Triacylglycerols versus Long- Chain Triacylglycerols for Body Composition in Adults

Objective: To assess the effect of replacing dietary long-chain triacylglycerols (LCTs) with medium-chain (MCTs) on body composition in adults.
Conclusion: Despite statistically significant results, the recommendation to replace dietary LCTs with MCTs must be cautiously taken, because the available evidence is not of the highest quality.
