Abstract
In this study, the effect of sn -2 palmitic triacylglycerols ( sn -2 palmitic TAGs) and the ratio between the two major sn -2 palmitic TAGs (OPL to OPO ratio) in a human milk fat substitute (HMFS) on growth, fatty acid and calcium absorptions, and lipid and bile acid metabolic alterations was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats.
