In the new research, researchers examined a compound called glycerol monolaurate, which is recognized as safe. ❋ Unknown (2009)
So Haase mixed glycerol monolaurate with a gel, and tested its ability to block SIV infection in the macaques. ❋ Unknown (2009)
None of the macaques treated with glycerol monolaurate showed evidence of infection in these first two weeks, although Haase notes that one of the monkeys did later develop an infection. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A microbicide made from glycerol monolaurate - an ingredient in some foods and cosmetics - can protect female monkeys from contracting an HIV-like virus, researchers have found. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Despite those results, some researchers are reluctant to back the idea of taking glycerol monolaurate into human trials. ❋ Unknown (2009)
As for glycerol monolaurate, Hillier says the compound is "going to require more attention before we know whether or not it has promise as a microbicide".. ❋ Unknown (2009)
He counters that repeated use of nonoxynol-9 was found to cause inflammation and lesions in the vagina and cervix, yet his safety studies have thus far shown no evidence that glycerol monolaurate causes such damage ❋ Unknown (2009)
Meanwhile, Robin Shattock, an HIV researcher at St George's, University of London, says that the latest results do not rule out the possibility that glycerol monolaurate is simply destroying the virus directly, as most surfactants are thought to do. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Schlievert's lab had found that glycerol monolaurate inhibits the production of some deadly bacterial toxins, including anthrax toxin and toxins responsible for toxic shock syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Those treated with glycerol monolaurate also produced less Mip-3α than the control animals ❋ Unknown (2009)
The compound, called glycerol monolaurate, or GML, appears to stop inflammation and helps keep away the T-cells the AIDS virus usually infects, the researchers say. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The anti-HIV ingredient in the gel is glycerol monolaurate or GML. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It's important to point out that the researchers are not saying that glycerol monolaurate (GML) prevents the transmission of HIV in humans, but the possibility that it does has got the science world buzzing this afternoon. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Researchers at the University of Minnesota tested a common compound called glycerol monolaurate, or GML, used in ice cream, cosmetics and found in breast milk in macaque monkeys.
a way to block transmission of the AIDS virus in a group of female monkeys by treating them with a vaginal gel containing glycerol monolaurate, or GML, before they were exposed to the virus. ❋ Unknown (2009)
