Anti-hyperglycemic potential and chemical constituents of Aristolochia triangularis Cham. leaves - A medicinal species native to Brazilian forests.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Aristolochia triangularis Cham. has been used in Brazilian traditional medicine for various therapeutic purposes, including as a leaf-based infusion for diabetes management.

Aim Of The Study: This study was designed to chemically characterize an infusion of in natura A.

Manufacturing and characterization of craft beers with leaves from Benth.

The increase in the manufacture of craft beers follows the boost in the consumption of this beverage. Meanwhile, brewers face a drawback with beer aging, its flavor's change. The addition of compounds that overcome this downside is one alternative used by brewers.

Effect of temperature on the chemical profiles of nest materials of social wasps.

Social insects depend on their nests for protection against predation and abiotic threats. Accordingly, the chemical compounds present in the material wasps use to build their nests can both facilitate communication and repel predators. It is herein hypothesized that different wasp species build their nests with different structure and substrate materials and that such materials consist of chemical compounds related to unique wasp behavior and outside temperature variation.

New method for estimating the post-mortem interval using the chemical composition of different generations of empty puparia: Indoor cases.

Most flies of forensic importance are in two superfamilies, the Muscoidea and the Oestroidea, with similar life stages including the puparium. Upon completion of metamorphosis the adult fly emerges from the puparium, leaving behind an exuvia that is of potential significance in forensic investigation. The empty puparium is a durable piece of entomological evidence lasting several years.

Influence of temperature on survival and cuticular chemical profile of social wasps.

The cuticle of social insects is a barrier against desiccation and a channel for chemical communication, two characteristics fundamental to the success of this group. The compounds present in the cuticle interact dynamically in order to achieve a balance between these two functions. Thus, viscosity correlates with waterproofing, whereas fluidity correlates with effective communication.
