• By stereometry, the sebaceous gland volumes gradually increased during the course of treatments with TS and DMSO, whereas the volumes of TD-treated sebaceous glands increased, reached the maximum on day 7, and then decreased [7].
• The correlation between surface microscopy and dermal histology in tetradecane-induced comedones in rabbit ear skin [8].
• Three concentrations of tetradecane and liquid paraffin were applied daily for 4 weeks to the external ear skin of rabbits, and the average diameter of the follicular lesions was measured under the Leitz MZ surface microscope [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tetradecane

• Mycobacterium goodii X7B, a facultative thermophilic bacterium, cleaving the C-S bond of dibenzothiophene via a sulfur-specific pathway, was investigated for DBT in tetradecane and crude oil desulfurization [2].

Biological context of Tetradecane

• It is also confirmed that an increment of surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase allows a faster kinetics of the tetradecane transfer [9].
• Platelet aggregation inhibiting and anticoagulant effects of oligoamines, Part 33. From tetradecane- to octacosanediamines [10].

Anatomical context of Tetradecane

• To investigate the pathologic changes of sebaceous glands during comedo formation induced by topically applied substances in a rabbit pinna model, purified tetradecane was inuncted on the ventral aspect of the rabbit pinnas once a day for a week [1].
• Several properties of the cytochrome P-450 induced in the yeast Candida tropicalis by growth on tetradecane have been studied by differential visible spectroscopy on microsomes [11].
• Effect of tetradecane derivatives and A2C (a membrane fluidizing agent) on the phase transition characteristics of DPPC bilayers, and their susceptibility to phospholipase A2 from bee venom and pig pancreas is also reported [12].
• After 1 month storage, membranes from cholesterol solutions oxidized in decane and tetradecane from 0.75--3 h were stable [13].

Associations of Tetradecane with other chemical compounds

• The total sulfur level of dibenzothiophene in tetradecane, was reduced by 99%, from 200 to 2ppm within 24h at 40 degrees C. After 72h treatment, 59% of the total sulfur content in Liaoning crude oil was removed, from 3600 to 1478ppm [2].
• The most likely mechanism of mass transfer through the aqueous membrane is a solution-diffusion of tetradecane enhanced by the micelles of the surfactant Tween 20 [9].
• Dodecane and tetradecane did not show any increase in the expression of IL-1alpha and MCP-1 as compared to control (P > 0.05), but the expression of TNF-alpha by dodecane and tetradecane was significantly higher than control at all time points [14].
• The temperature dependence of the micelle structures formed by poly(styrene-b-isoprene) (SI) diblock copolymers in the selective solvents diethyl phthalate (DEP) and tetradecane (C14), which are selective for the PS and PI blocks, respectively, have been investigated by small angle neutron scattering (SANS) [15].
• In this paper, two ternary systems (water, Triton X-100, and octane or tetradecane) were investigated using freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy, rheology, laser diffraction particle sizing, and pulse field gradient NMR (PFG-NMR) [16].

Gene context of Tetradecane

• The expression of TNF-alpha in skin due to tetradecane support the fact that visually indistinguishable skin irritation reactions can induce significant changes in the biological marker profile [14].
• Tetradecane did not show any visible signs of skin irritation and also did not produce any significant difference in IL-1alpha and MCP-1 release profiles as compared with control [14].
