摘要:
A powder composition which reacts in water to form in situ peroxycarboxylic acids at an anti-microbially effective concentration. Importantly, its utility is both for topical anti-microbial application and for effective low temperature disinfection/sterilization of instruments. It comprises the combination of a perborate, one or more novel acyl and/or aroyl donors, a buffering system which allows the pH to arise to about 9 for rapid formation of the peroxycarboxylic acids and then drop to about 7.5 for sustained stability and microbial kill. It preferably includes a surfactant facilitating antimicrobial efficacy, as well as other minors.
摘要:
The differentiation of preadipocytic cells into adipocytic cells, in particular for correcting insulin-resistance disease states in mammalian organisms, notably in humans, for example type II diabetes and cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, is stimulated by treating such preadipocytic cells, or a patient in need of such treatment, with an effective amount of (a) at least one ligand displaying affinity for the nuclear receptors for retinoic acid and/or isomers thereof, preferably at least one ligand displaying a specific affinity for the RAR receptors and even more preferably the RAR-&agr; receptor and (b) at least one fatty acid, e.g., a polyunsaturated fatty acid.
