octanoic acid and Body Weight

octanoic acid has been researched along with Body Weight in 15 studies

octanoic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #1764
octanoic acid : A straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is heptane in which one of the hydrogens of a terminal methyl group has been replaced by a carboxy group. Octanoic acid is also known as caprylic acid.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" A specific dose-response enrichment of the stomach tissue C8:0 was observed as a function of dietary C8:0, supporting the hypothesis of an early preduodenal hydrolysis of medium chain triglycerides and a direct absorption at the gastric level."1.42Dietary Caprylic Acid (C8:0) Does Not Increase Plasma Acylated Ghrelin but Decreases Plasma Unacylated Ghrelin in the Rat. ( Beauchamp, E; Dayot, S; Duby, C; Legrand, P; Lemarié, F; Rioux, V, 2015)
" Exogenous ghrelin increased food intake in both genotypes with a bell-shaped dose-response curve that was shifted to the left in ghrelin(-/-) mice."1.33Energy homeostasis and gastric emptying in ghrelin knockout mice. ( Buyse, J; Coulie, B; Cryns, K; De Smet, B; Depoortere, I; Moechars, D; Moreaux, B; Peeters, TL; Swennen, Q; Tack, J, 2006)
