Chemical investigations and cytotoxic effects of metabolites from against human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

is used as a medicinal fungus in Taiwan to treat fatigue, food intoxication, and enhance liver function. Here we identified fermented metabolic components from the mycelium of KH37 and explored their anti-hepatoma potentials with study models of human hepatoblastoma cell lines. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the solid fermentation powder of KH37 led to the isolation of one new quinonol, antroquinonol Z (), and nine known compounds (-).

Modeling of food intake is moderated by salient psychological group membership.

The present study demonstrates the utility of a social identity analysis of social influence in predicting eating behavior. In a laboratory experiment, female undergraduate students observed a confederate who appeared to have eaten a large or small amount of popcorn. The confederate was presented as either a fellow in-group member of a salient identity (same university) or an out-group member (another tertiary institution).
