One of the most significant long-term effects of cocaine use is damage to the nose. A septal perforation, or a âhole in the septumâ is a condition that is commonly caused from snorting or âsniffingâ cocaine through the nose. The nose has a fragile blood supply, which is shut off by cocaine use. This process is called vasoconstriction (closing off of blood vessels).
Scleroglucan and PSAT are two Beta-1,3/1,6-polysaccharides. Beta glucans are derived primarily from yeast cell wall, various fungi, grains, and mushrooms. Beta 1,4 glucan is derived from oats and barley while not included in this research summary of forms of Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan.
The glyceryl monoesters, or monoglycerides, are all prepared from glycerin. Most are also prepared from fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives. Some of these fatty acids may come from refined vegetable oils For example, Glyceryl Linolenate is produced from glycerin and linoleic acid, which can be made from sunflower oil.lyceryl monoesters are not pure monoesters, but are mixtures with mono-, di-, and tri-esters. Glyceryl monoesters are metabolized to free fatty acids and glycerol, both of which are available for the resynthesis of triglycerides.
