To consider potentially new hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic sources, aqueous extracts from four Korean medicinal plants, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Dioscorea batatas, Morus alba, Citrus unshiu, were investigated in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. To induce diabetes, 36 rats were administered alloxan orally (120 mg/kg body weight) for 2 weeks and among those 6 rats were used as a diabetic cont...

In 2021, the author observed and collected Onobrychis caput-galli (L.) Lam., a species of Fabacee previously unknown to Portuguese vascular flora, according Checklist Flora (Sequeira et al., 2011). The was found in Algarve, very restricted area, with several sites occurrence, most which sharing similar habitat conditions. All evidence suggests that is native Portugal should be added flora.

Polymorphisms are common in the natural world and have played an important role in our understanding of how selection maintains multiple phenotypes within extant populations. Studying the evolutionary history of polymorphisms has revealed important features of this widespread form of phenotypic diversity, including its role in speciation, niche breadth, and range size. In the present study, we ...

Eclipta alba, an indigenous medicinal plant, has a folk (Siddha and Ayurvedha) reputation in rural southern India as a hypoglycemic agent. In order to confirm this claim, the present study was carried out to evaluate the antihyperglycemic effect of E. alba and to study the activities of liver hexokinase and gluconeogenic enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in t...

Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk (E. alba) is a traditionally acclaimed medicinal herb used for the promotion of hair growth. However, to the best of our knowledge, no report has been issued to date on its effects on genetically distorted hair follicles (HFs).

A BBRC review of the identification criteria of ‘Dark-breasted Barn Owls’ Tyto alba guttata concluded that only those birds with completely buff underparts were safely identifiable as guttata. Many British claims of guttata show varying amounts of white below, and are thought to originate from the wide intergrade zone between guttata and nominate alba, although variation within alba may also ac...

The principal habitats of immature Orthopodomyia alba and Orthopodomyia signifera are tree holes, though they are occasionally encountered in artificial containers. We collected 929 Or. alba and 17 Or. signifera from 2 plastic trash cans, 2 scrap tires, and a tree hole. All collections were made in an urban residential area in central Illinois.
