Triacetin Digestion and Hepatic Metabolic Signaling

2026-08-17

The reference study clarifies how triacetin, a short-chain triacylglycerol, is digested and absorbed in rats, showing complete upper-gastrointestinal degradation into acetate and glycerol. Its key implication is that triacetin-derived metabolites may influence hepatic AMPK signaling and lipid metabolism regulation in addition to serving as metabolic substrates.
