Application
Soybean oil from Sigma is suitable for use:
- in the determination of freezing point of soybean oil
- as a standard at 0.1% in chloroform during the quantification of lipid by a vanillin-phosphoric acid reaction
- as a delivery vehicle of α-lipoic acid
- to dissolve tamoxifen
General description
Soybean oil (SBO) is a vegetable oil widely used as biodegradable lubricant. It increases left ventricular contractility associated myosin ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA2a) in isolated hearts from rats. SBO is shown to reduce both total and non-HDL serum cholesterol and triglycerides induced by atherogenic diet in rats. It may be transesterified to biodiesel using CaO as a solid base catalyst. It may also be transesterified to biodiesel using methanol and ethanol.

Under fasting conditions, metazoans maintain energy balance by shifting from glucose to fat burning. In the fasted state, SIRT1 promotes catabolic gene expression by deacetylating the forkhead factor FOXO in response to stress and nutrient deprivation. The mechanisms by which
