octanoic acid has been researched along with Insulin Coma in 1 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: A straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is heptane in which one of the hydrogens of a terminal methyl group has been replaced by a carboxy group.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.

Insulin Coma: Severe HYPOGLYCEMIA induced by a large dose of exogenous INSULIN resulting in a COMA or profound state of unconsciousness from which the individual cannot be aroused.
