Description

General description

Sesame oil may be used in the production of biodiesel and may serve as a viable alternative for the diesel fuel. It acts as an antioxidant having neuroprotective activity on brain hippocampus of rat in focal cerebral ischemia, when given as a dietary supplement. Consumption of sesame oil has a beneficial effect on blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant levels in diabetic rats.

Application

Sesame oil is suitable:

• for dissolving free testosterone
• for the preparation of tamoxifen i.p. injection
• for dissolving aromatizable androgen testosterone and non-aromatizable androgen 5α-dihydrotestosterone
• as a delivery vehicle for the injection of estradiol benzoate
• for dissolving progesterone and estradiol-17β
• for dissolving semisynthetic form of acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid

Used in research applications as delivery vehicle for fat-soluble compounds including steroidal hormones and toxins. Sesame oil has antioxidant properties and was shown to protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated oxidative stress in animal models.
