ambrein

a degraded triterpene; ambrein, cholesterol and benzoic acid are major components of ambergris; from intestinal secretion of sperm blue whale (Pyseter carodon)

1.	Postmortem Changes (Adipocere) 12/04/2019 - "It is assumed that the adipocere matrix of saturated fatty acidsaided the preservation of ambrein over extended periods of time, because adipocere is stable against degradation. " 12/04/2019 - "Here we report on the surprising occurrence of ambrein in human adipocere. " 12/04/2019 - "First evidence of terrestrial ambrein formation in human adipocere." 11/01/2021 - "However, the finding of ambrein in adipocere/faeces of human corpses, led us to hypothesise that ambrein might occur in the faeces of other mammals. " 12/04/2019 - "In addition to the typical fatty acids of adipocere, lesser amounts of ambrein were identified in the samples, in abundances similar to those of the major accompanying faecal steroids. "
2.	Hyperglycemia 12/01/1991 - "Ambrein did not reduce the hyperglycemia of glucose-loaded rats also given mannoheptulose but it reduced the hyperglycemia of glucose-loaded rats in the absence of mannoheptulose. "
3.	Cadaver (Cadavers) 11/01/2021 - "However, the finding of ambrein in adipocere/faeces of human corpses, led us to hypothesise that ambrein might occur in the faeces of other mammals. "
