A gas chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometric analysis of policosanols in commercial vegetable oils.

J. Food Sci. 76(6) , C891-9, (2011)

Reportedly policosanols (PCs) have various beneficial functionalities on health. A gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) with a low limit of detection (LOD), and high specificity, recovery, and precision was successfully established for the P...

Quantification of sterols and aliphatic alcohols in Mediterranean stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) populations.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 55(6) , 2251-5, (2007)

Individual components of Pinus pinea L. oil unsaponifiable matter isolated from seven Mediterranean populations were identified and quantified. P. pinea oil unsaponifiable matter contained very high levels of phytosterols (>or=4298 mg kg-1 of total extracted ...

[Studies on chemical constituents of Primula sikkmensis].

Zhong Yao Cai 31(1) , 44-6, (2008)

To study the chemical constituents of Primula sikkmensis Hook.The chemical constituents of the plant were isolated and purified by column chromatography and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis.Seven compounds were isolated and identifie...

N-hexacosanol ameliorates streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat nephropathy.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 544(1-3) , 132-7, (2006)

In this study we investigated the effects of N-hexacosanol on streptozotocin-induced rat diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes was induced in 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by administering an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). The rats wer...

Peripheral administration of a long-chain fatty alcohol promotes septal cholinergic neurons survival after fimbria-fornix transection.

Brain Res. 518(1-2) , 295-8, (1990)

Peripherally administered n-hexacosanol, a long-chain fatty alcohol, strongly attenuated the degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the medial septum and the vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca following transection of their dorsal projection to the h...

Effect of n-hexacosanol on insulin secretion in the rat.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 274(1-3) , 133-9, (1995)

n-Hexacosanol, a long-chain saturated fatty alcohol extracted from Hygrophyla erecta Hochr., has been recently shown to exert neurotrophic properties on central neurons and to stimulate phagocytosis in macrophages. The present work was designed to investigate...

N-hexacosanol reverses diabetic induced muscarinic hypercontractility of ileum in the rat.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 545(2-3) , 177-84, (2006)

Diabetic neuropathy, a major complication of diabetes mellitus, is associated with development of gastrointestinal motility dysfunction and autonomic neuropathy. N-hexacosanol has neurotrophic effects and exhibits a wide variety of biological actions. In this...

A diet low in animal fat and rich in N-hexacosanol and fisetin is effective in reducing symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

J. Med. Food 15(8) , 758-61, (2012)

This study describes how foods rich in fisetin and hexacosanol added to a strict diet reversed most symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) in one patient. This is a case report involving outpatient care. The subject was a dietitian diagnosed with idiopathic PD ...

Preventive effects of cyclohexenonic long-chain fatty alcohol on diabetic cystopathy in the rat.

Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol. 84(2) , 195-201, (2006)

In this study, we investigated the preventive effect of n-hexacosanol on diabetes-induced bladder dysfunction in the rat. Diabetes was induced in 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by administering an injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, i.p.). The rats we...

The neurotrophic factor, n-hexacosanol, reduces the neuronal damage induced by the neurotoxin, kainic acid.

J. Neurosci. Res. 29(1) , 62-7, (1991)

The long-chain fatty alcohol, n-hexacosanol, has been shown to possess neurotrophic properties in vitro on rat CNS cultures (Borg et al., 1987) and to promote the survival of septal cholinergic neurons after experimental axotomy (Borg et al., 1990). Long-chai...
