Product Overview
Description:
1,2,3-Trioctanoyl glycerol is a symmetrical medium-chain triacylglycerol containing esterified octanoic acid at all three glycerol positions. This neutral lipid modulates systemic metabolic pathways by upregulating key hepatic and adipose lipogenic enzymes and exhibits selective membrane-disrupting capabilities that trigger nuclear edema and cytolysis within localized tumor cells while leaving healthy parenchymal tissue unaffected.
