Biochem/physiol Actions: | Triheptanoin is a triglyceride with 3 molar eq. of saturated heptanoic acid (C7:0). The even-chain FA does not occur naturally and is able to bypass metabolic block induced by enzyme deficiency and to replenish reduced tricarboxylic acid/TCA-cycle (Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle/CAC) intermediates (anaplerosis) in vivo. |
