摘要
As people’s consumption levels and health awareness have risen, the consumer demand for functional foods is steadily increasing. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), an important class of dietary fatty acids, have been regarded as high-value functional foods due to their unique transportation system and the fact that they can be metabolized rapidly in the body while producing high energy. Beginning with an overview of the types and structures of MCFAs, this paper goes on to elaborate the metabolic pathway of MCFAs in the human body and then summarize recent research on MCFAs in the adjuvant treatment of different diseases. This article focuses on the positive role of MCFAs in the adjuvant treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other diseases, and expounds their action mechanism. Finally, an outlook on the future development of MCFAs is given. Overall, this review provides a theoretical basis for promoting the application of MCFAs in the fields of food and medicine. © 2024 Chinese Chamber of Commerce. All rights reserved.
