Background The regulation of gastrointestinal function and energy intake by fatty acids
depends on their chain length. Animal studies suggest that lauric acid (C12) may have more
potent suppressive effects on energy intake than does oleic acid (C18). Objective We
compared the effects of equicaloric loads of C12 and C18 on antropyloroduodenal (APD)
motility, plasma concentrations of cholecystokinin (CCK) and peptide YY (PYY), appetite,
and energy intake. Design Thirteen healthy men (aged 20–46 y) were studied on 3 …
