Chemical composition and antibacterial activities of essential oils from rhizomes and aerial parts of (Araceae).

In this study, the phytochemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oils isolated from the rhizomes and the aerial parts of were analysed for the first time using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and disk diffusion method. Consequently, 36 constituents were reported from rhizomes, including linalool (57.4%), terpinen-4-ol (10.

The melanocortinergic pathway is rapidly recruited by emotional stress and contributes to stress-induced anorexia and anxiety-like behavior.

Neurons producing melanocortin receptor agonist, alpha-MSH derived from proopiomelanocortin, and antagonist, agouti-related protein, are known to be sensitive to metabolic stress such as food deprivation and glucoprivation. However, how these neurons respond to emotional/psychological stress remained to be elucidated. We report here that acute emotional stressors, i.
