TLDR
Both NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities were not significantly changed during the six days of treatment and Oral administration of these two terpenoids did not affect any of the lung-microsomal parameters measured.
Abstract
1. Metabolites isolated from the urine of rats after oral administration of geraniol (I) were: geranic acid (II), 3-hydroxy-citronellic acid (III), 8-hydroxy-geraniol (IV), 8-carboxy-geraniol (V) and Hildebrandt acid (VI). 2. Metabolites isolated from urine of rats after oral administration of linalool (VII) were 8-hydroxy-linalool (VIII) and 8-carboxy-linalool (IX). 3. After three days of feeding rats with either geraniol or linalool, liver-microsomal cytochrome P-450 was increased. Both NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities were not significantly changed during the six days of treatment. 4. Oral administration of these two terpenoids did not affect any of the lung-microsomal parameters measured.

Inhibition of Pancreatic Cancer Growth by the Dietary Isoprenoids Farnesol and Geraniol

TL;DR: Farnesol, geraniol, and perillyl alcohol suppress pancreatic tumor growth without significantly affecting blood cholesterol levels, and warrant further investigation for pancreatic cancer prevention and treatment.

Safety assessment of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) essential oil as a food ingredient.

TL;DR: The use of coriander oil as an added food ingredient is considered safe at present levels of use because of the history of consumption without reported adverse effects, lack of its toxicity in limited studies and lack of toxicity of its major constituent, linalool.

Characterization of a cytochrome P-450 dependent monoterpene hydroxylase from the higher plant Vinca rosea.

TL;DR: A monooxygenase isolated from 5-day old etiolated Vinca rosea seedlings was shown to catalyze the hydroxylation of the monoterpene alcohols, geraniol and nerol, to their corresponding 10-hydroxy derivatives.
