Newly discovered biologically active humoral factors derived from the cardiovascular system

Cardiovascular state of newly discovered diabetic women.

A cardiovascular study of a group of 90 newly diagnosed diabetic women aged 35 to 75 years was begun in 1965 and a repeat examination was carried out on the same patients in 1968. A high prevalence of ischaemic heart disease was found in these patients at the time of diagnosis, and this finding had some predictive value as regards prognosis over the three-year period.A comparative study with ge...

Biologically Active Caffeic Acid-Derived Biopolymer

The high-molecular water-soluble preparations from several species of two genera (Symphytum and Anchusa) of Boraginaceae family Symphytum asperum, S. caucasicum, S.officinale and Anchusa italica were isolated. According to IR, C and H NMR, APT, 1D NOE, 2D heteronuclear H/C HSQC and 2D DOSY experiments, the main chemical constituent of these preparations was found to be caffeic acid-derived poly...

Newly discovered components and actions of the renin-angiotensin system.

Biologically active substances from the genus Artemisia.

Artemisia species, widespread in nature, are frequently utilized for the treatment of diseases such as malaria, hepatitis, cancer, inflammation, and infections by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Furthermore, some Artemisia constituents were found to be potential insecticides and allelopathic chemicals. This genus is receiving growing attention presumably due to: (i) the diversified biology and ch...
