About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), delivered in different formulations, on beta-hydroxybutyrate response (as a marker of ketone body production), lipid metabolism, and glucose responses in healthy adults.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do MCTs influence beta-hydroxybutyrate responses, lipid metabolism, and glucose responses…
