Abstract

Oral administration of ozonated sunflower oil (OLEOZON ®) to Wistar rats produces changes in the profiles of their urinary organic acids. The changes indicate an increase in various dicarboxylic acids (ADC). These acids are: heptanedioic, octanedioic, octenedioic, nonanedioic, decenedioic and dodecenedioic. Of these acids, the ones with the greatest increase are heptanedioic (pimelic) and nonanedioic (azelaic). The proposed working hypothesis is that these acids, according to the proposed mechanism (F1g .1), come from the metabolism of the compounds obtained by the ozonation of oleic and linoleic acids, main components of triglycerides in sunflower oil, with 28 to 35% and 60 to 70%, respectively.
