Alkylthioacetic acids (3-thia fatty acids) as non-beta-oxidizable fatty acid analogues: a new group of hypolipidemic drugs. III. Dissociation of cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering effects and the induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation.

Previous work in this laboratory indicated that sulfur-substituted fatty acid analogues, 1.10-bis(carboxymethylthio)decane and alkylthioacetic acid, both non-beta-oxidizable compounds, and the beta-oxidizable alkylthiopropionic acid (1) caused, to different extents, dose-related hepatomegaly and pro...
