Modulation of Morphine Action by Lauric Acid.

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1993
Intraperitoneal administration of lauric acid (C12) at the high doses, 100-1000 mumol/kg, showed weak but dose-dependent antinociceptive effect in mice. Pretreatment of the animals with 0.1 mumol/kg of i.p. C12 tended to suppress the antinociceptive effect of 7 mg/kg of s.c.

Low-cost and highly thermally conductive lauric acid–paraffin–expanded​ graphite multifunctional composite phase change materials for quenching thermal runaway of lithium-ion battery

Energy Reports, 2023
The cooling role of phase change materials (PCMs) has emerged as a promising solution for battery thermal management systems (BTMS). However, issues such as high phase change temperature, low thermal conductivity, and easy leakage have been the long-term
