Summary

Structured lipid emulsions, combining long-chain (LCT) and medium-chain (MCT) triglycerides, offer enhanced nutrient delivery and potential pharmacological applications beyond basic nutrition. Their unique structure opens new avenues for targeted delivery of fatty acids, amino acids, and drugs.
