Effects of Dietary Medium-Chain Triglyceride Supplementation on the Serum Metabolome of Young Adult and Senior Canines.

The changes in polar metabolites were primarily mediated by differences in a subset of circulating amino acids When comparing the baseline samples to the 2 h post-feeding sample, animals fed the MCT diet, irrespective of age, showed a trend to decreased levels of amino acids, such isoleucine (a BCAA) and phenylalanine (an aromatic amino acid), while alanine was only decreased in senior animals ( Figure 4 A–C).
