Conventional wisdom is scared of those oils because they contain two
lipid compounds called cafestol (great name for a coffee shop) and kahweol, high doses of which elevate cholesterol and suppress LDL clearance from animal models.
The worms hatch and grow on beeswax, which is composed of a highly diverse mixture
of lipid compounds.
One study showed that epidurals may decrease the release of PGF2 alpha,
a lipid compound that stimulates uterine contractions to start labor.
They genetically modified the E. coli Nissle strain to produce
a lipid compound called NAPE, which is normally synthesized in the small intestine in response to feeding.
On the other hand, NPD1 = PD1 can relieve neuropathic pain at very low doses and, more importantly, mice receiving the treatment did not show signs of physical dependence or enhanced tolerance toward
the lipid compound.
They treated these animals with chemically - synthesized NPD1 = PD1, either through local administration or injection, to investigate whether
the lipid compound could relieve these symptoms.
