Possible Interaction: Medium Chain Fatty Acid and Ghrelin

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In conclusion, dietary MCFAs increase the plasma ghrelin concentrations in lactating dairy cows.

In another study, we suggested that MCFAs or MCTs might represent a potential therapeutic modality for the clinical manipulation of energy metabolism through the modulation of ghrelin activity.
These findings clearly demonstrated that the ingested MCFAs are directly used for the acyl-modification of ghrelin.
We found in a … that ingestion of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) or medium-chain triacylglycerols (… the stomach contents of acyl ghrelin , and we further showed that the carbon-chain length of the acyl groups that … the nascent ghrelin peptides corresponded to that of the ingested MCFAs or MCTs.

Here we report that ingestion of either medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) or medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCTs) increased the stomach concentrations of acylated ghrelin without changing the total (acyl- and des-acyl-) ghrelin amounts.
