Talk:Defatting (medical)

Hoak
Can't find any real reference on Google to "2-Methoxybenzaldehyde". 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde is a skin irritant. "Or more commonly known as Anisaldehyde" This is an anise component which occurs in food. Defatting does get some mention on Google, in relation to as a cooking technique to reduce the amount of fat in cooked foods. "2-Methoxybenzenecarboxyldehyde" get 0 Ghits. The whole article, as written is nonsense. Cheers Clappingsimon talk 02:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, dude...I do not know about the food defatting...which seems to constitute merely scooping out the floating oil off soup and skimming fat of the meat...I'm a chemist, and I know for a fact that chronic exposure to kerosene and such similar substances which are capable of dissolving fats present in your skin, leads to a condition known as defatting, whereby the natural oils present in the region of chronic exposure (of skin) reduces drastically. Other substances that are capable of defatting upon chronic substance exposure are methanol, isopropanol, isooctane and so on.--Karthik r 22:35, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * "...caused by the chemical transformation of the oils (lipids) which constitute the cell membranes." Aren't the lipids just dissolved, not actually chemically changed? --71.227.190.111 03:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * You are quite right...the lipids are only dissolved, not transformed. (Karthik r 13:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC))
