Dry-salted pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) plays an important cultural role in the Amazon region - South America. In this study, we explored the changes in the chemical composition of pirarucu meat following the drying-salting process via H NMR spectroscopy. Combining multivariate and univariate statistical analyses yielded a robust differentiation of metabolites involved in the process.

- Aspidosperma pyrifolium has potential therapeutic effects against Parkinson's disease, focusing on its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties using the APSE-Aq fraction.
- In a study using male Wistar rats, APSE-Aq treatment improved behavioral changes and reversed harmful biochemical markers related to dopamine levels and inflammation after neurotoxic injury.
- These findings suggest that APSE-Aq could be beneficial in Parkinson's treatment due to its chemical relation to salicylic acid.
