Greater fat oxidation with diacylglycerol oil consumption for 14 days compared with triacylglycerol oil consumption in overweight men and women

Diacylglycerol Oil Reduces Body Fat but Does Not Alter Energy or Lipid Metabolism in Overweight, Hypertriglyceridemic Women

“…The absence of change in acute and medium-term postprandial EE and fat oxidation with the consumption of DAG oil is consistent with the results reported by Hibi et al (26). Other studies have shown that DAG oil consumption increases short-term total EE (27) and fat oxidation (27)(28)(29); in those trials (28,29), participants maintained an inactive state during the energy measurement interval, as was the case in the present protocol. Therefore, body weight and composition modifications in our study may have been due to DAG oil consumption with increased total EE and fat oxidation.…”

Alpha Linolenic Acid-enriched Diacylglycerol Consumption Enhances Dietary Fat Oxidation in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Double-blind Controlled Trial

“…Indeed, Murase et al suggested that β-oxidation is higher in rodents fed ALA-DAG than in those fed ALA-TAG 12 . Additionally, ALA-DAG can enhance fat oxidation at 25 of the dose compared to oleic and linolenic acid-riched DAG 16 .…”

Alpha Linolenic Acid-enriched Diacylglycerol Enhances Postprandial Fat Oxidation in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Double-blind Controlled Trail

“…These evidences suggest that ALA alone does not have sufficient effect, but the effect of DAG structure was enforced by ALA. Indeed, Hibi et al 20 reported that postprandial fat oxidation was significantly increased followed by 10 g/d of 14-d repeated consumption of DAG which consisted mainly of oleic acid and linoleic acid. In this study, however, significant increase in postprandial fat oxidation was observed followed by 2.5 g/d of 14-d repeated consumption of ALA-DAG, suggesting that ALA-DAG showed the similar effect to oleic and linoleic acid-rich DAG only for a quarter of the dosage.…”
