General description

Tyloxapol is a biocompatible surfactant
A nonionic liquid polymer of the alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type. Used as a surfactant.

Application

Tyloxapol has been used in a study to assess the enhanced pulmonary absorption of recombinant human insulin. It has also been used in a study to investigate the metabolic pathways promoting intrahepatic fatty acid accumulation in methionine and choline deficiency.

Natural pulmonary surfactant (PS) and its artificial substitute phospholipid hexadecanol tyloxapol (PHT) are effective absorption enhancers on promoting recombinant human insulin (Rh-ins) absorption in vivo, but the in vitro efficacy and underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the current study, the

The pathological mechanisms that distinguish simple steatosis from steatohepatitis (or NASH, with consequent risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer) remain incompletely defined. Whereas both a methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCDD) and a choline-deficient diet (CDD) lead to hepatic triglyceride accumulation

Hepatic steatosis develops when lipid influx and production exceed the liver's ability to utilize/export triglycerides. Obesity promotes steatosis and is characterized by leptin resistance. A role of leptin in hepatic lipid handling is highlighted by the observation that recombinant leptin
Aki Uchida et al.

Obesity results in abnormally high levels of triglyceride (TG) storage in tissues such as liver, heart, and muscle, which disrupts their normal functions. Recently, we found that lean mice challenged with high levels of dietary fat store TGs in cytoplasmic
