Calorie restriction A 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis by Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition supported evidence that<unk>  decreases subsequent energy intake, but does not appear to affect appetite. Dietary relevance Molecular weight analysis of milk from different species showed that while milk fats from all studied species were primarily composed of long-chain fatty acids (16 and 18 carbons long), approximately 10–20% of the fatty acids in milk from horses, cows, sheep, and goats were<unk><unk>  fatty acids. Some studies have shown that<unk> s can help in the process of excess calorie burning, thus weight loss.<unk> s are also seen as promoting fat oxidation and reduced food intake.<unk> s have been recommended by some endurance athletes and the bodybuilding community. While health benefits from<unk> s seem to occur, a link to improved exercise performance is inconclusive. A number of studies back the use of<unk>  oil as a weight loss supplement, but these claims are not without conflict, as about an equal number found inconclusive results. Pharma relevance<unk> s can be used in solutions, liquid suspensions and lipid-based drug delivery systems for emulsions, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems, creams, ointments, gels and foams as well as suppositories.<unk> s are also suitable for use as solvent and liquid oily lubricant in soft gels. Brand names of pharma-grade<unk>  include Kollisolv<unk>  70. Medical relevance<unk> s passively diffuse from the GI tract to the portal system (longer fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic system) without requirement for modification like long-chain fatty acids or very-long-chain fatty acids. In addition,<unk> s do not require bile salts for digestion. Patients who have malnutrition, malabsorption or particular fatty-acid metabolism disorders are treated with<unk> s because<unk> s do not require energy for absorption, use, or storage.<unk> s are generally considered a good biologically inert source of energy that the human body finds reasonably easy to metabolize. They have potentially beneficial attributes in protein metabolism, but may be contraindicated in some situations due to a reported tendency to induce ketogenesis and metabolic acidosis. However, there is other evidence demonstrating no risk of ketoacidosis or ketonemia with<unk> s at levels associated with normal consumption, and that the moderately elevated blood ketones can be an effective treatment for epilepsy. Due to their ability to be absorbed rapidly by the body,<unk> s have found use in the treatment of a variety of malabsorption ailments.<unk>  supplementation with a low-fat diet has been described as the cornerstone of treatment for Waldmann disease.<unk> s are an ingredient in some specialised parenteral nutritional emulsions in some countries. Studies have also shown promising results for epilepsy through the use of ketogenic dieting. Technical uses<unk> s are bland compared to other fats and do not generate off-notes (dissonant tastes) as quickly as LCTs. They are also more polar than LCTs. Because of these attributes, they are widely used as carrier oils or solvents for flavours and oral medicines and vitamins.
