Tetradecylthioacetic acid (a 3-thia fatty acid) decreases triacylglycerol secretion in CaCo-2 cells.

The effects of the hypolipidemic fatty acid analogue tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) on synthesis and secretion of lipoproteins in CaCo-2 cells were studied. Radiolabeled tetradecylthioacetic acid was absorbed and metabolized as efficiently as oleic acid, although a discrepancy in the metabolic fate...
