More techinical terms concerning Trivalerian.

Hey guys, I have gotten some great questions concerning the "Trivalerian". Please read the newest information,and I hope this helps you out. Please understand that I am just a conduit. The quicker I find information the quicker I will post it.

Since my initial posting on my blog I've found more interesting info about the product Valerian that was patented on 5/18/09.  The company has developed highly purified forms of two odd-chain triglyceride oils. These TG’s have a three 5-carbon fatty acid attached to a glycerol backbone (Tripentanoin) and a three 7-carbon fatty acid attached to a glycerol backbone (Triheptanoin). They are synthetic fats derived from plant products. C5TG is produced from valerian root and C7 produced from castor bean. C7 has been used for treating forms of metabolic disease and fat oxidation disorders. C7 was first used as a marker in butter sold in Europe in 1991. Odd carbon triglycerides do not occur naturally. Naturally occurring TG oils contain even carbon chain fatty acids. The differences between odd-carbon and even-carbon TG oxidation is akin to “night and day” figuratively writing in a metabolic sense. The reason is anaplerosis. Anaplerosis is the filling of the pools of CAC catalytic intermediates which carry the two carbons of acetyl-CoA as they are converted to CO2. The entry of carbons into the CAC in a form different from acetyl-CoA is anaplerotic because it increases the pool of catalytic intermediates. The 5-carbon ketone body produces a 3-carbon intermediate (propionyl-CoA)The odd-chain triglycerides are oxidized in the liver ultimately producing a five-carbon ketone body. The C5 ketone is exported throughout the body and is readily available as an additional source of fuel for energy production in all organs, including the brain. The C5 ketone enters the CAC as C2 (acetyl-CoA) and C3 (propionyl-CoA). These two substrates, alone, are able to fuel the CAC. In the presence of compromised glucose metabolism, the C5 compound is able to supercharge energy production via a “back door”. Brain neurons starved for glucose (C2) can be fed with the C5 ketone. This should improve neuron function, thereby improve memory and possibly have other additional beneficial metabolic effects. C5TG will be completely oxidized to C5 ketones in the liver and will be the more effective of the two compounds.
