Mono, di and tri-propylene glycol are produced commercially. Monopropylene glycol (MPG) is the most widely used, and is found in cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals and laundry detergents, as well as substituting for monoethylene glycol in anti-freeze formulations where lower toxicity is required or chiefly to make unsaturated polyester resins used in fibreglass composites for construction applications.

Peptidoglycan

The main component of the bacterial cell wall, consisting of a two-dimensional network of heteropolysaccharides running in one direction, cross-linked with polypeptides running in the perpendicular direction. A macromolecule that consists of linear polysaccharides cross-linked by short peptides; often found in bacterial cell walls, peptidoglycans confer mechanical support and protect bacterial cells from disruption by osmotic pressure.

Paraganglioma

A paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm that may develop at various body sites. About 97% are benign and cured by surgical removal; the remaining 3% are malignant because they are able to produce distant metastases. Paraganglioma is now the most-widely accepted term for these lesions, that have been also described as: glomus tumor, chemodectoma, perithelioma, fibroangioma, and sympathetic nevi.
