Diacylglycerols postprandial effects

Effects of Oral Diacylglycerol Loading on Postprandial H3fperlipidemia in Men Norio Tada... 

Dietary diacylglycerols (DAG) comprise a natural component of various edible oils and are consumed as food. The nutritional function of DAG, however, has not been studied until recently. Some research into the nutritional characteristics of dietary DAG has occurred, and our knowledge of its functions in humans and animals is accumulating. Through these studies, it was shown that DAG, particularly in the 1,3-isoform, have metabolic characteristics distinct from TAG, which may produce beneficial effects with regard to the prevention and management of postprandial lipidemia and obesity.
