In this study, researchers from Japan compared alpha-linolenic acid-enriched diacylglycerol (ALA-DAG) consumption with alpha-linolenic acid-enriched triacylglycerol (ALA-TAG) consumption in humans and examined their effects on fat metabolism and body weight. Their results, which included the effects of acylglycerol structure on fat metabolism in humans, were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that ALA-DAG consumption might be useful for preventing obesity.
