Abstract
Medium-chain saturated fatty acids (Octanoic acid (C8:0) and Decanoic acid (C10:0)) are found in high levels in coconut oil and palm kernel oil, commonly used in processed foods in the United States. They have reportedly positive effects on neuronal function in epilepsy and on cognition in Alzheimer's Disease. However, negative effects have been described in vascular diseases (such as stroke). Less is known about the impact of these fatty acids in Parkinson's Disease (PD). This study explored the association between their dietary intake and motor function in PD.
