biological activity | Tricaprin (glyyl tridecanoate) is an orally available precursor of capric acid (DA precursor), can be hydrolyzed to capric acid. Tricaprin (glyyl tridecanoate) is a major component of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) with anti-androgenic and anti-hyperglycemic properties. Tricaprin (Glyceryl tridecanoate) can be used as an additive in food, medicine, and cosmetics. |
