Effects of infant formula supplied with medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols and <i>sn</i> -2 palmitate on fecal lipid metabolome and microbiota profiles in healthy term infants: a parallel-controlled study
Infant formula fortified with medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols and <i>sn</i>-2 palmitate showed a comparable fecal lipidomics pattern to breast milk. Significant correlations were observed between fecal lipid and beneficial microbiota such as <i>Bifidobacterium</i>. The results indicated that structured lipids influenced lipid metabolism and infant gut health.
