MCT Oil

Diet supplemented with MCT oil in the management of childhood diarrhea.

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil supplementation on the duration and episodes of diarrhea attacks, and specifically its effect on the clinical manifestations of patients. Seventeen children aged 6 months to 47 months old with a mean age of 19.6 months, suffering from acute diarrhea at the Pediatric Ward of the Philippine General Hospital M...

Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of ex vivo engineered autologous lymphocytes encoding high-affinity MART-1/HLA-A 0201–specific T-cell receptor (TCR)a/b chains (F5 CTL), densely infiltrate into sites of metastatic disease, mediating dramatic but partial clinical responses in patients with melanoma. We hypothesized that MART-1 downmodulation in addition to aberrant apoptotic/survival signaling could...

mTOR is a serine/threonine kinase that acts by binding different sets of proteins forming two complexes, termed mTORC1 and mTORC2. mTOR is deregulated in a substantial proportion of ovarian tumors. Despite the use of drugs directed to mTOR in ongoing clinical trials, the functional relevance of the individual mTORC branches in ovarian cancer is not known. Here, we show that mTORC1 and mTORC2 we...

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell cancer with poor survival, characterized by the clonal expansion of multiple myeloma cells (MMC), primarily in the bone marrow. Novel compounds are currently tested in this disease, but partial or minor patients’ responses are observed for most compounds used as a single agent. The design of predictors for drug efficacy could bemost useful to better understand ...
