Thio-etherfattyacids (THEFAs), including the parent 2-(tetradecylthio)acetic acid (TTA), are modified fattyacids (FAs) that have profound effects on lipid metabolism given that they are blocked for β-oxidation, and able to act as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists. Therefore, TTA in particular has been tested clinically for its therapeutic potential against metabolic syndrome
