l  Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol  Actions

Tricaprin is an orally available precursor of decanoic acid (DA), a 10-carbon fatty acid and major component of medium chain triglyceride oils, with potential antiandrogen and antihyperglycemic properties. Upon oral administration, tricaprin is hydrolyzed to DA, which binds to and partially activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma, as well as PPAR-alpha and PPAR-beta/delta, without inducing adipogenesis. Additionally, tricaprin may improve insulin sensitivity and decrease androgen production.
