medium-chain triglycerides |
0.04 sec. |
|
medium-chain triglycerides, n.pl fats consisting of eight to ten atoms of carbon that are not broken into smaller units; they then get transferred through the lymphatic system (as are long-chain triglycerides) but are transported intact to the liver and metabolized without first being stored in fatty tissue. This ease in metabolism helps those with fat absorption problems and may also be of use in weight loss. There are no known precautions. How to thank TFD for its existence?
