These authors showed that some gallates are potent inhibitors of the enzyme
squalene epoxidase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol [42] and, therefore, is essential for the survival of the microorganism.
Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the expression of key enzymes of mevalonate pathway in (1) aortas from streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced 0-, 8-, and 16-week diabetic mice in vivo and (2) high-glucose-induced proliferated VSMCs in vitro, including HMGR, FPPS, FNT-[beta], GGT-1[beta],
squalene synthase (SQS), phosphor-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl- coenzyme A reductase (P-HMGR), and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPPS) (Figure 1).
Inhibition of
squalene epoxidase by allylamines results in sterol deficiency in the fungal cell wall and also intracellular accumulation of
squalene and finally fungal cell death.11 In one in vitro study terbinafine showed a weak effect against Malassezia furfur.12
Squalene is a major component of human skin lipid and is the single most abundant ozone-reactive constituent (Nicolaides, 1974).
ISO tensile bars were soaked in olive oil,
squalene, and sun screen and oleic acid for five days at room temperature.

The human surface reaction with ozone was then improved by modeling the reaction with
squalene. Next, the model was enhanced to include a computer-simulated person (CSP), a personal ventilation (PV) system, desk, floor diffuser and exhaust.
guajava leaf extract also contains
squalene, which is commonly used in the cosmetic industry due to its antifungal properties [15, 16].
Squalene is also a compound commonly found in vegetable oils, particularly high in olive oils, with antioxidant property.
Vaginal lubricant and shark liver oil both contain an organic compound called
squalene. This is often added to skin creams and moisturisers.
Olive powder contains high amounts of healthy compounds, including oleic acid, polyphenols, tocopherols, chlorophylls and
squalene, which are beneficial for human health.
She was at Hay on Thursday to talk about the use of
squalene, a substance found in sharks and used in the cosmetics industry.
