Applications TTA is a novel thio-fatty acid which cannot undergo beta-oxidation. It induces apoptosis in IPC-81 leukemia cells via depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibits glioma cell proliferation. TTA completely prevents high fat diet-induced insulin resistance and adiposity in Wistar rats. Activates rodent PPAR’s with rank order PPARα>PPARδ>PPARγ.
