McCue Molly E; Valberg Stephanie J; Pagan JD; Essén-Gustavsson Birgitta; Roe Charles R (2009) Effect of triheptanoin on muscle metabolism during submaximal exercise in horses. American journal of veterinary research 2009;70(8):1043-52.
Abstract
Objective—To compare effects of corn oil or a 7-carbon fat (triheptanoin) on acylcarnitine, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism in plasma or muscle of exercising horses.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Fatigue was not associated with depletion of citric acid cycle intermediates for either oil. Triheptanoin induced a significantly higher insulin secretion and did not appear to enhance muscle glycogen repletion.
