- Hello folks... I'm new to the food science/nutrition field and would like
- to learn where the 'internet accessible' resources are located. At the
- moment I'm looking for abstracts and references to research papers dealing
- with squalene as a food, food supplement, antioxidant, and anti-tumor agent,
- although I'm particularly interested in articles dealing with the food
- supplement aspects.
-
- I've got several questions about locating such resources. First off, I
- wonder which newsgroup(s) are the best to ask about this kind of thing?
- (I've chosen these three simply as an initial guesstimate.)
-
- Secondly, I have the results of a (commercial) data base search through
- such databases as EMBASE, PASCAL,LIFE SCIENCES COLLECTION, etc, but this
- simply lists databases which contain some (any) reference to squalene, and
- doesn't give the abstracts or citations (at least not without additional
- $$$) and I'm wondering if there isn't some other way to access this kind
- of information without going through the commercial databases.
-
- Well, any suggestions would be most welcome - thanks ahead of time!
-
- Since I normally don't peruse these newsgroups I would appreciate a
- response via email - thank you.
