| farnesene alcohol | <chemical> A colourless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in verterbrates. It has a delicate odour and is used in perfumery. Chemical name: 2,6,10-Dodecatrien-1-ol, 3,7,11-trimethyl- (12 Dec 1998) |

| fatty alcohol | A long chain alcohol, analogous to the fatty acids, of which the fatty alcohol may be viewed as a reduction product; e.g., octadecanol from stearic acid. It is often found esterified in waxes. Synonym: wax alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal alcohol effects | A softer diagnosis than foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The diagnosis of possible FAE is considered when: 1. The person has some signs of FAS; 2. The person does not meet all of the necessary criteria for FAS; and 3. There is a history of alcohol exposure before birth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal alcohol syndrome | <syndrome> The most common cause of defective cerebral development in industrialised nations, affecting 1 in 700 live births in the United States. This clinical syndrome results from the direct toxic effects of alcohol on the developing foetus. Growth retardation, mental retardation, small brain and heart valve lesions are common. Infants can be identified by close set eyes, small head, small nasal bridge, reduction in the vermilion border of the upper lip, eye folds and small teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
