Tetradecylthioacetic acid prevents high fat diet induced adiposity and insulin resistance

Tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) is a non-β-oxidizable fatty acid analog, which potently regulates lipid homeostasis. Here we evaluate the ability of TTA to prevent diet-induced and genetically determined adiposity and insulin resistance. In Wistar rats fed a high fat diet, TTA administration complet...
