The absence of C 20 -hydrocarbon precursors of crocetin supports a degradation pathway for the biosynthesis of cro cetin.

AtherosclerosisOxygen diffusion and atherosclerosis
50 Citations1974John L. Gainer, G M Chisolm
Results would appear to add evidence that hypoxia, due to reduced diffusion of oxygen at the blood-tissue interface, plays an important and perhaps an initiating part in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

The four diterpenes 6–9 were synthesized, who differ only in their degree of saturation, and a detailed analysis of their 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra has been achieved by their mutual comparison.
