Sarcomeric mutations are the most. common cause of HCM, but the disease. can also be caused by systemic. disorders (fatty acid defects, glycogen. storage diseases, organic acidemias, lysosomal storage disorders, mito-. chondrial defects) that affect many. areas of the body.
MCT Oil vs. Coconut Oil. Okay, letâs get down to the nitty-gritty. There are some key differences between MCT oil and coconut oil. MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil. After all, coconut oil contains all four MCTs, as well as a number of longer-chain fatty acids.
The MCT oil in coconut oil is only PART of the total fats, but not the main component. Coconut oil only contains about 14% MCT's by weight, palm kern oil has about 7.2% and butter has about 9.2% (defined as MCT's less than 10 carbons). That means coconut oil contains some of the longer chain fatty acids as well as the medium sized fats (in fact over 50% of the fats in coconut oil would not be classified as medium chain triglycerides).
