title: [Metabolic effect of a parenterally administered fat emulsion with middle-chain triglycerides in healthy men].
abstract: Within 3 hours, 10 healthy male volunteers were infused 500 ml of a 5 percent emulsion in which 25 percent of the fat proportion had been replaced by MCT-fats. As expected, the ketone body concentration in the blood rose, while pyruvate remained constant and lactate dropped. The results show that, basically, a MCT-containing fat infusion is suited for parenteral nutrition and, because of their specific properties, medium chain triglycerides may be used as rapid energy donators.
