Both compounds have become more commonly used in dietary supplements. Stearic acid is commonly used as a binder in tablets, and it has lubricant properties. Magnesium stearate is a lubricant commonly used in tablet formulations. After achieving a homogenous blend of powdered ingredients, adding a small amount of magnesium stearate enables the powder blend particle surface to be sufficiently coa...

glycidol undergoing 100 % transformation into 3-MCPD (reference value) (NaCl) [TF=0.67] GE stearate (NaCl) [TF=0.85] GE linolenate (NaCl) [TF=0.67] GE oleate (NaCl) [TF=0.71] glycidol undergoing 100 % transformation into 3-MBPD (reference value) (NaBr) [TF=0.48] GE stearate (NaBr) [TF=0.51] GE linolenate (NaBr) [TF=0.31] Linear (GE linolenate (NaBr) [TF=0.31]) Challenges in Analysing Glycidyl F...

De novo lipogenesis and dietary fat uptake are two major sources of fatty acid deposits in fat of obese animals. To determine the relative contribution of fatty acids from these two sources in obesity, we have determined the distribution of c16 and c18 fatty acids of triglycerides in plasma, liver, and epididymal fat pad of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and their lean littermates (ZL) under ...

The effect of Psidium guajava extract on erythromycin-induced liver damage in albino rats was investigated using 30 normal rats grouped into six. Group I and II served as the normal and treatment controls that were administered with normal saline and 100 mg/kg body weight of erythromycin stearate daily for 14 days respectively. Rats in group III were administered 450 mg/kg body weight of Psidiu...

Ascorbyl stearate is a lipophilic, vitamin C derivative with antitumorigenic properties. The molecular mechanism(s) underlying the anticarcinogenic effect of this compound have not been well documented. The effect of ascorbyl stearate was studied in a panel of human ovarian epithelial cancer cells. Treatment with ascorbyl stearate caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the cell proliferation. Th...

Stearate@Cu/ZnO nanocomposite particles with molar ratios of ZnO ∶ Cu = 2 and 5 are synthesized by reduction of the metal-organic Cu precursor [Cu{(OCH(CH(3))CH(2)N(CH(3))(2))}(2)] in the presence of stearate@ZnO nanoparticles. In the case of ZnO ∶ Cu = 5, high-angle annular dark field-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) combined with electron-energy-loss-spectroscopy (EELS) ...

The influence of a typical prooxidative additive, cobalt stearate, on the thermal stability, degradation kinetics and lifetime of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in both nitrogen and air atmosphere. The derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves indicate single stage and multistage decomposition process in nitrogen and air at...

Targeted drug delivery using folate receptors is one of the most interesting chemotherapeutic research areas over the past few years. A novel folate targeted copolymer was synthesized using dextran stearate coupled to folic acid. FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy were used to confirm successful conjugation. Micelles prepared using this copolymer were characterized for their particle size, zeta potenti...

The objective of this study was to prepare hyoscine butylbromide (a drug with bitter taste) tablets that can rapidly disintegrate in saliva. The granules were prepared by the extrusion method using aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymers (Eudragit E-100). The drugs dissolved rapidly in medium at pH 1.2 in a dissolution test while none of the drugs dissolved from the granules (% of dissolved < 5%) ev...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of saturated long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) on cell proliferation and triacylglycerol (TAG) content, as well as mRNA expression of αs1-casein (CSN1S1) and genes associated with lipid and protein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). Primary cells were isolated from the mammary glands of Holstein dairy cows, and were passaged twice...
