NCIt definition : A nutritional lipid emulsion consisting of both coconut oil-derived medium chain triglycerides
(MCTs) and soybean oil-derived long chain triglycerides (LCTs). The LCTs in the MCT/LCT
lipid emulsion supply the body with essential omega-6 fatty acids, which are needed
as components of phospholipids in cell membranes and as precursors of eicosanoids.
The MCTs mainly provide calories for energy. In addition to LCTs and MCTs, this lipid
emulsion contains egg yolk lecithin, glycerol, and the antioxidant alpha-tocopherol
(vitamin E).;
