Medium-Chain Triglyceride Dietary Supplements Reduce Glucose Metabolism of Gait-Related Skeletal Muscle in Older Adults: A Longitudinal 18F-FDG PET/CT Analysis
A 3-month MCT supplementation suppressed glucose metabolism and increased the muscle density in gait-related skeletal muscles, consistent with previous findings that MCT supplementation stabilizes balance functions during walking in healthy older adults.
