Key Findings
- The study by the Federal University of Piauí explored the potential of γ-TPN, found in essential oils, as a treatment for thromboembolic diseases
- γ-TPN showed good bioavailability and pharmacokinetics, indicating it could be effectively absorbed and utilized by the body
- γ-TPN significantly reduced platelet aggregation, suggesting it could help prevent blood clots without severe side effects
