Fatty acid ethyl esters disrupt neonatal alveolar macrophage mitochondria and derange cellular functioning.

Alcohol. Clin. Exp. Res. 39(3) , 434-44, (2015)

Chronic alcohol exposure alters the function of alveolar macrophages (AM), impairing immune defenses in both adult and neonatal lungs. Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are biological markers of prenatal alcohol exposure in newborns. FAEEs contribute to alcohol...

Design, synthesis, antibacterial, and QSAR studies of myristic acid derivatives.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 16 , 3023-9, (2006)

A series of esters and amides of myristic acid was synthesized and tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. All the compounds showed activity comparable to that of the standard drug, ciprofloxacin. The struc...

Neonatal hair analysis as a biomarker for in utero alcohol exposure.

N. Engl. J. Med. 347(25) , 2086, (2002)

Fatty acid ethyl esters in hair: correlation with self-reported ethanol intake in 160 subjects and influence of estroprogestin therapy.

Drug Test. Anal. 6(9) , 930-5, (2014)

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are minor ethanol metabolites that can accumulate in hair. The performance of hair FAEEs as a biomarker that can discriminate null or moderate drinking from risky, excessive drinking was verified by evaluating the relationship ...

Concentration of fatty acid ethyl esters in hair of alcoholics: comparison to other biological state markers and self reported-ethanol intake.

Alcohol Alcohol. 39(1) , 33-8, (2004)

In a variety of clinical and forensic situations long term use of alcohol must be monitored. In this project we explore the utility of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) in this regard. Additionally, we propose a cut-off value of FAEE to distinguish teetotallers/...

Fatty acid ethyl esters in hair as markers of alcohol consumption. Segmental hair analysis of alcoholics, social drinkers, and teetotalers.

Clin. Chem. 47(12) , 2114-23, (2001)

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are products of nonoxidative ethanol metabolism. After incorporation in hair, they should be suitable long-term markers of alcohol abuse.Hair samples from 19 alcoholics in a treatment program, 10 fatalities with verified excess...

Effect of hair care and hair cosmetics on the concentrations of fatty acid ethyl esters in hair as markers of chronically elevated alcohol consumption.

Forensic Sci. Int. 131(2-3) , 90-7, (2003)

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) can be used as alcohol markers in hair. It was investigated in this study whether this diagnostic method is disturbed by hair care and hair cosmetics. Traces of ethyl myristate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl oleate and ethyl stearate w...

Fatty Acid ethyl esters in scalp, pubic, axillary, beard and body hair as markers for alcohol misuse.

Alcohol Alcohol. 38(2) , 163-7, (2003)

This study examined the possibility of using hair samples other than scalp hair for analysis of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) as markers for alcohol misuse.Samples of scalp and pubic hair and, if available, axillary, beard and body hair of one teetotaller, f...

Ethanol contamination leads to Fatty acid ethyl esters in hair samples.

J. Anal. Toxicol. 32(2) , 156-9, (2008)

The diagnosis of alcoholism is a topical subject of discussion; in fact, many studies have been published on the determination of biochemical markers useful to this target. Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) are minor metabolites of ethanol, and their usefulness ...

Investigation of the factors influencing the release rates of cyclosporin A-loaded micro- and nanoparticles prepared by high-pressure homogenizer.

J. Control. Release 84(3) , 115-23, (2002)

An oil-in-water solvent evaporation method was used to prepare cyclosporin A (CyA)-loaded particles varying in size (nanoparticles, 'small-sized' microparticles, 'large-sized' microparticles), polymer compositions [poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) 50...
