Different Dietary Approaches
Ruth Chambers, Paula Stather in Tackling Obesity and Overweight Matters in Health and Social Care, 2022
Many diets emphasise a reduction in fat intake, which automatically reduces caloric intake, as fat is particularly high in calories. Fatty acids are a major component of healthy diets. Common saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid and mysristic acid are found in animal products including dairy, red meat, egg, coconut and palm oils and chocolate. Trans fatty acids such as vaccenic acid (natural) and elaidic acid (industrial) are the most common types of trans fatty acids in people’s diet. The most common source of omega-6 fatty acid is linoleic acid, derived from plant oils, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Evidence suggests that a diet with a high amount of omega fatty acids, a low amount of saturated fatty acids and nil or a low amount of trans fatty acids might improve health outcomes and increase longevity.3
Other Reactions from Gloves
Robert N. Phalen, Howard I. Maibach in Protective Gloves for Occupational Use, 2023
Sugiura et al.83 reported CU to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate in the dotted PVC grip of cotton gloves. They subsequently reported CU to polyethylene gloves in another patient.84 This patient had positive scratch test reactions to octadecanoic acid methyl ester, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, cis-13-docosenoic acid amide, and octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl) propionate; these chemicals are used as antioxidants and lubricants in polyethylene. Both patients were brothers who had chronic urticaria, which worsened when they wore gloves at work. Cow's milk casein is used as a stabilizer in glove manufacturing and can cause CU syndrome in individuals with cow's milk allergy.85 CU was also reported to be caused by polyvinylchloride (PVC) gloves in a patient who developed three episodes of pruritus of the hands and wrists, each within minutes of donning the gloves. Her symptoms of localized pruritus progressed to generalized pruritus, edema of the lips and tongue, and dyspnea. This patient showed early patch test reactions to pieces of the PVC glove, but no other early or delayed patch test reaction to any of the additives usually found in PVC gloves.86
Glycerine in Creams, Lotions, and Hair Care Products
Eric Jungermann, Norman O.V. Sonntag in Glycerine, 2018
In addition to the glycerine and mineral oil type of basic skin cream/lotion is another basic recipe called the “vanishing” cream product. As the name implies, these formulations, which contain stearic acid as a major ingredient, are designed to disappear rapidly into the skin. Vanishing creams have been defined as a suspension of stearic acid in a gel of stearic soap [20]. Not surprisingly, they are designed to be used primarily as a hand care item. Glycerine (or other humectants) is also commonly incorporated into vanishing creams. Suzuki has done a very detailed Theological study on simple vanishing cream systems consisting of 14% partially neutralized stearic acid with 1% glyceryl monostearate as an auxiliary emulsifier, with and without the addition of 30% humectant [21]. Glycerine and the other humectants improved the viscosity and smoothness of the creams, preventing the crystallization of the larger stearic acid particles.

In the present study, 31 chemical constituents were identified by GC–MS, namely 1,2,3-benzenetriol; 1,2,3-propanetriol, 1-acetate; 1,5-cyclooctadiene, 3,8-dimethyl; 1, nonadecene; 1-octadecene; 2-chloropropionicacid, octadecyl ester; 2-propenoic acid, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl); 2-propenoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl); 3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid; 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; 9,12-octadecadienoic acid; cyclopentene, 1-(3-methylbutyl); dichloroacetic acid, heptadecyl ester; E-15-heptadecenal; eicosane; ethyl (E)-hex-3-enyl carbonate; ethyl (Z)-hex-3-enyl carbonate; heneicosane; heptadecane; n-hexadecanoic acid; octacosane; octadecane; octadecanoic acid; p-coumaric acid, trans; pentacosane bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; pentalene, octahydro; pentanoic acid 3-hydroxy-, methyl ester; phenol, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl); phthalic acid, isohexyl neopentyl ester; tetradecanoic acid p-coumaric acid; and Z-8-hexadecene. Among these compounds, n-hexadecanoic acid; 1,2,3-benzenetriol; and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid were found in higher quantity and octadecanoic acid; and 9,12-octadecadienoic acid were found in moderate quantity and others were found in smaller quantities.

The GORE DCB Catheter contains two excipients or inactive ingredients.Tromethamine (tris) is widely used as a component of buffer solutions and is also a common inactive ingredient in many intravenous and intravascular pharmaceutical solutions/injections.Stearic acid is widely used as a surfactant and softening agent in the production of cosmetics such as shampoos, soaps, and shaving cream products and in the preparation of dietary supplements. Stearic acid is a common inactive ingredient in many pharmaceutical preparations, including oral capsules/tablets, topical solutions/ointments/creams, vaginal tablets/creams, and subcutaneous implants.

Administration of 1c and 1 g not only dose-dependently reduced the serum levels of TC and TG, but also inhibited the elevation of serum ALT and AST levels in mice fed the HFD (Table 2). Palmitic acid, stearic acid, and CA exhibited no effect at 200 mg/kg dosage. At the highest dosage of 200 mg/kg, 1c and 1 g reversed the elevation of serum ALT, AST, TC, and TG levels, effecting a return to the levels of the normal control. UDCA effectively reduced the serum ALT, TC, and TG levels. In terms of lipid-lowering activity, UDCA was less effective at 200 mg/kg than were 1c and 1 g at 50 mg/kg.
