We studied the effect of lauric acid on transdermal penetration of phenazepam in vivo. It was found that treatment with lauric acid 3-fold increased the maximum anticonvulsive effect of phenazepam applied in a transdermal therapeutic system in comparison with the control. Study of the pharmacokinetics of phenazepam transdermal therapeutic system showed its higher bioavailability in the presence of lauric acid (f=0.9).

In the present study, the nematicidal and fungicidal activity of the biosurfactant (BS) produced by the strain Serratia ureilytica UTS was evaluated. The highest mortality of J2 juveniles of the nematode Nacobbus aberrans was 92.3% at a concentration of 30 mg/mL.

Background: Recently, there has been substantial interest in investigating the role of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and, medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in the neuroinflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Specifically, butyrate (SCFA) and lauric acid (MCFA) have demonstrated potential in alleviating neuroinflammation and reducing toxicity associated with amyloid proteins. Additionally, they have been found to enhance mitochondrial function and reduce neuronal hyperactivity.

The potential of insects as alternative ingredients in animal feeds is well-established. However, limited information is available on the use of insect oils as alternative lipid sources in aquafeeds. To address this, a study was conducted on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles to evaluate the effects of including black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae oil (HIO).

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely recognized as a highly efficient medium for thermal energy storage. Many studies have identified the low thermal conductivity of PCMs. In the current investigation, the researchers have blended PCM with nanoparticles to enhance its thermal conductivity and electrical efficiency.

The objective of this study is to examine how plasma-activated water (PAW) affects the formation of complexes between wheat starch (WS) and lauric acid (LA) during extrusion. The findings from various analysis, including complexing index, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, revealed that PAW promoted the formation of WS-LA complexes during extrusion, resulting in a better long-range and short-range ordered structure, as well as higher gelatinization enthalpy. Consequently, PAW led to lower solubility, swelling power, gel property, and rapidly digestible starch content but higher resistant starch content.
