Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
It is one of the fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) produced after ingestion of ethanol. Some research literature implicates FAEEs such as ethyl oleate as the toxic mediators of ethanol in the body (pancreas, liver, heart, and brain). [9] [10] Ethyl oleate may be the toxic mediator of alcohol in fetal alcohol syndrome. [9]
Free oleic acid occurs in oils and fats as a product of the breakdown of triglycerides. Olive oil exceeding 2% free oleic acid is graded unfit for human consumption. See Fatty acid § Free fatty acids. [7] Oleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in human adipose tissue, [14] and second in abundance in human tissues overall, following ...
Most typically, the reaction entails the use of methanol (MeOH) to give fatty acid methyl esters: RCO 2 CH 2 –CHO 2 CR–CH 2 O 2 CR + 3 MeOH → 3 RCO 2 Me + HOCH 2 –CHOH–CH 2 OH. FAMEs are less viscous than the precursor fats and can be purified to give the individual fatty acid esters, e.g. methyl oleate vs methyl palmitate.
U.S. dietary guidelines define a moderate, low-health-risk alcohol intake as one drink or less per day for women and two or less for men. (That does not apply, however, to people who are pregnant ...
That equals about 12 ounces of regular beer (at 5% alcohol; some light beers have less) or 5 ounces of wine (at 12% alcohol) or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (at 40% alcohol or 80 proof ...
First an N-acyl transferase (NAT) activity joins the free amino terminus of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to the oleoyl group (one variety of acyl group) derived from sn-1-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine, which contains the fatty acid oleic acid at the sn-1 position. [5]
Health insurance stocks jumped after Donald Trump won the presidential election on expectations for deregulation in the industry, but shares tumbled after the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian ...
