Sarcomeric mutations are the most. common cause of HCM, but the disease. can also be caused by systemic. disorders (fatty acid defects, glycogen. storage diseases, organic acidemias, lysosomal storage disorders, mito-. chondrial defects) that affect many. areas of the body.
MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil. Okay, letâs get down to the nitty-gritty. There are some key differences between MCT oil and coconut oil. MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil. After all, coconut oil contains all four MCTs, as well as a number of longer-chain fatty acids.
Coconut oil claims are primarily based on the reported beneficial effects of MCTs. About 58% of the fatty acids in coconut oil are medium-chain fatty acidsâcaprylic (7.4%), capric (5.9%) and lauric acid (44%).Because medium-chain fatty acids are saturated, 87% of the total fatty acids in coconut oil are saturated (Vannice 2014).MCTs (specifically those consisting of capric and caprylic acid (DeLany 2000)) have been touted as being more efficiently metabolized and less likely to be stored as fat.ecause medium-chain fatty acids are saturated, 87% of the total fatty acids in coconut oil are saturated (Vannice 2014).
