Application


  • Epigenetic priming targets tumor heterogeneity to shift transcriptomic phenotype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma towards a Vitamin D susceptible state.: This groundbreaking study utilizes glyceryl triacetate as part of an epigenetic priming strategy to sensitize pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to Vitamin D, marking a significant advancement in cancer treatment modalities (He et al., 2024).

  • Glyceryl triacetate promotes blood-brain barrier recovery after ischemic stroke through lipogenesis-mediated IL-33 in mice.: Research demonstrates glyceryl triacetate′s effectiveness in enhancing blood-brain barrier repair post-ischemic stroke via lipogenesis pathways, offering insights into novel stroke recovery treatments (Wei et al., 2023).

  • Development of A Nanostructured Lipid Carrier-Based Drug Delivery Strategy for Apigenin: Experimental Design Based on CCD-RSM and Evaluation against NSCLC In Vitro.: This study details the formulation of a nanostructured lipid carrier incorporating glyceryl triacetate, optimized for delivering apigenin to combat non-small cell lung cancer, emphasizing the potential of glyceryl triacetate in targeted therapy applications (Wang et al., 2023).

  • Are New Phthalate Ester Substitutes Safer than Traditional DBP and DiBP Comparative Endocrine-Disrupting Analyses on Zebrafish Using In Vivo, Transcriptome, and In Silico Approaches.: Investigating glyceryl triacetate as a safer alternative to traditional phthalate esters, this study explores its lower endocrine-disrupting effects, contributing to safer industrial and pharmaceutical applications (Tan et al., 2023).

  • Glyceryl triacetate feeding in mice increases plasma acetate levels but has no anticonvulsant effects in acute electrical seizure models.: This research evaluates the biochemical impact of glyceryl triacetate on plasma acetate levels, providing valuable data on its metabolic effects despite a lack of anticonvulsant properties in specific seizure models (Xu et al., 2022).
