Description
1,3-Dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains octanoic acid at the
sn-1 and
sn-3 positions and oleic acid at the
sn-2 position. In a diet-induced hamster model of hypercholesterolemia, replacing dietary coconut oil with 1,3-dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol reduces total cholesterol levels in both the plasma and aorta.
