OBJECTIVE Dicarboxylic acids are natural products with the potential of being an alternate dietary source of energy. We aimed to evaluate the effect of sebacic acid (a 10-carbon dicarboxylic acid; C10) ingestion on postprandial glycemia and glucose rate of appearance (Ra) in healthy and type 2 diabetic subjects. Furthermore, the effect of C10 on insulin-mediated glucose uptake and on GLUT4 expr...

Biodegradable elastomeric materials are gaining extensive attention in the field of soft tissue engineering. Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel biocompatible elastomer in this scope. However this polymer has poor mechanical properties especially when the molar ratio of glycerol is higher than sebacic acid. Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) is a biocompatible ceramic with some degr...

Vegetable oil-based lubricants are environment-friendly options as against conventional lubricants. This paper discusses the synthesis well characterisation of esters from ricinoleic acid and sebacic whose main source is castor oil. Physicochemical properties, tribological study oxidation have been carried out for esters. With increase in ester chain length, extreme pressure viscosity index pou...

The evidence concerning the utilization of dibasic fatty acids in the animal organism has been reviewed by Dakin (3) and more recently by Flaschentrager (4). Oxalic acid is burned to a limited extent, and in large amounts is toxic. Malonic and succinic acids are utilized, and glutaric acid is completely oxidized in the dog (3), but is nephrotoxic to the rabbit, while the higher acids affect the...

fermentation of 49 carbohydrates and oxidation and assimilation of 96 substrates were examined for ten beauveria bassiana isolates. principal component analysis indicated that there are significant differences among isolates for utilization of some substrates. esculine and d- glucose were positively fermented by all isolates. isolates were grouped into four clusters on the basis of hierarchial ...

The 1,10-decanedioic acid-1,3,5,7-tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]decane (1/1) system, C(10)H(18)O(4).C(6)H(12)N(4), was studied at 215 (2) K. Its analysis provides important information with regard to the long-standing acid-carboxylate controversy in the urotropine-alkanedioic acid system. In the present structure, all the chain end-groups display a clear acid character. The asymmetric unit of t...
