How to use

In Vivo:

2-Furoic acid significantly reduces serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels. 2-Furoic acid also lowers the liver and small intestine ATP dependent citrate lyase, acetyl CoA synthetase, acyl CoA cholesterol acyl transferase, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyl transferase, phosphatidylate phosphohydrolase and heparin induced lipoprotein lipase activities. 2-Furoic acid shows the LD50 of 250 mg/kg i.p. in the acute toxicity studies in mice.
