  • Title: Effect of medium-chain triglycerides on calbindin-D9k expression in the intestine.
    Author: Devlin A, Innis SM, Wall K, Krisinger J.
    Journal: Lipids; 1996 May; 31(5):547-9. PubMed ID: 8727649.
    Abstract:
    These studies determined the effect of the saturated fat source in infant formula on the expression of calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k). Piglets were fed from birth to 8 d with milk or formula containing saturated fatty acids as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), coconut oil, palm oil (Palm 1), or synthesized triglycerides with 16:0 directed to the sn-2 position (Palm 2). Levels of intestinal CaBP-9k mRNA were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in piglets fed formula with MCT than in piglets fed the other formula or milk; and higher in piglets fed the Palm-1 than in piglets fed Palm-2 formula. This is the first evidence that MCT alter piglet intestinal CaBP-9k mRNA.
