Medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols composition in preterm and full-term human milk across different lactation stages
2021-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Human milk is a natural source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). It is generally acknowledged that MCFAs exist in medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCTs). However, a previous study revealed that human milk is naturally rich in medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs). Few data are available on the MLCT composition of preterm milk. This study compared the MCFA and MLCT profiles in human milk from mothers aft...
