Octanoic acid a major component of widely consumed medium-chain triglyceride ketogenic diet is detrimental to bone

Abstract Octanoic acid is a medium-chained saturated fatty acid found abundantly in the ketogenic dietary supplements containing medium chained triglycerides (MCT) along with decanoic acid. The MCT ketogenic diet is commonly consumed for weight loss but has also showcased neuroprotective potential a...
